A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO METIS TRANSIT What is Metis Transit ? Metis Transit is Canada's first Aboriginal owned and operated municipal -style public transit system. This system is designed to be a community based transit system. Why is it called MMis Transit? As a community of People who care, this transit system is designed with the same caring and understanding of the Aboriginal People. The concept of Metis Transit was done by a Metis person with a vision and an entrepreneurial spirit. Where will Metis Transit be provided? Service will be provided in communities that have requested our service. Through a process, including surveys, it will be determined if the community can sustain a community -based public transit system. If the public consultation process shows that our service is needed, then the process to introduce our community -based transit service shall commence. Watch our web site and your local newspapers to see where our service is being provided. Who will be part of Metis Transit? This system is designed to provide a training ground for the Aboriginal, Metis and the local Community by providing direct and in- direct jobs. This transit system is available to everyone who requires mobility within their local community. How will Metis Transit be different? As a community -based transit system, Metis Transit will create special "Community Days ". These "Community Days" are designed to help and promote local community groups and events. United Nations Regognition Metis Transit - Canada's first and only Aboriginal owned and operated public transit system, had this status confirmed at the World Summit of Indigenous Entrepreneurs - a program by the World Trade University Global Secretariat, United Nations - held in Toronto August 18, 19 and 20, 2003. Metis Transit is currently 100% self - sufficient and receives NO operating funding from any level of Government. Page 33 of 229 8a) 7:00 p.m. Darren Parberry, President and CEO, Metis...

METIS TRANSIT Service Standards SURVEYS - Before any new service is introduced, a letter from the local council is requested for support to commence of surveying the community where service is proposed are to be done. Upon completion of surveys, the surveys results must indicate that over 60% of those that have responded to the surveys are in favour. If this 60% is achieved, then the process of planning of routes shall commence after meeting with the local council, with the surveys results, as well as local municipal staff. No other information from outside sources will be used in our planning process to avoid any potential legal conflicts. ROUTE CHANGES: Changes are made to each route that: either have an increase of at least 5% or a decrease of 15% as determined by any combination of either passenger survey counts, as requested by Service Request forms, or Daily Activities Forms SERVICE COVERAGE: No route shall operate on a street that is not paved or has very sharp turns that endanger the safe operation of any transit vehicle. ROUTE LAYOUT AND PLANNING: Regular routes will be established to provide direct access between point - to -point locations and, where possible, operate on a grid system. Service shall be provided along small residential streets by the Community Bus and shall meet the Regular route bus at as many locations as possible. Routes shall meet to provide minimal delays for passengers requiring to transfer routes. BUS STOPS: Although care is taken in the placements of stops, it may be necessary to located stops away from major intersections. Stops shall also be placed at locations that provide a minimal disruption in the flow of traffic. Stops will be clearly visible from a distance and provide route, schedule and transit contact information. OPERATIONS: Schedule Adherence: service reliability is a major factor in developing increased ridership and a good public image of the system. The actual on -time performance should be targeted to achieve a 95% adherence to the published schedules within a time "window" of 0 minutes early and 3 -5 minutes late of the published timetables, subject to traffic and weather condistions. Due to the nature of routes that travel between communities, those routes shall be monitored to ensure schedule adherence. PUBLIC INFORMATION AND MARKETING: Comprehensive and current information on the transit services will be provided to the local municipality for distribution to the public. Additionally, information shall be available through Sales Agents, local agencies and through electronic media. Notices shall be issued at least one month prior to events or service changes. One of the critical factors in encouraging the greater use of transit services is public information. Often a major barrier to potential new users of the transit service is simply the knowledge of where the bus routes go and when the service is provided. Even regular bus users often have knowledge of the one or two routes they use regularly, but are unaware of the other services or divisions provided. Improved public information is a simple, low -cost method of encouraging greater transit usage. In addition, the attitude and deportment of the operators is a critical and essential element in a successful marketing program. Useful and usable comments and suggestions shall be obtained through discussion with all staff and the public. Page 37 of 229 8a) 7:00 p.m. Darren Parberry, President and CEO, Metis...

Address to Oro Medonte council- May 22, 2013 I think we can all agree that development on these 30 foot strips is not compatible with current homes on Woodland Drive. I think we can agree that building on them just shouldn't happen but alas there are rules to discuss. From your Official Plan- new residential plans of subdivision need to be compatible with existing development and there must be measures to preserve the tree cover. Makes sense. In my humble opinion, 20' wide houses on 30' lots is not in keeping with the neighbourhood and would definitely reduce property values. I have photos of a few houses built in the past few years to show you and leave with you. They show strong evidence of the evolution on Woodland Drive from small seasonal cottages to substantial year round homes. Perhaps your plan to require a minimum of 98 ft. road frontage for new construction is working. And I wonder: Does Oro have 30 ft shoreline lots elsewhere? We would like to understand the history of these lots — how and when they came to be designated as Shoreline Residential 2. 1 saw a plan circa 1960 that shows all the lots as common use. Ron had advice from a lawyer that around 1997 the lots were rezoned and designated SR2. A local neighbour who was a resident at the time said he was never advised the lots were rezoned. understand that due to this rezoning and grandfathering the owners of these lots can simply apply for a building permit as long as they meet requirements for setbacks etc. in spite of the lots not meeting the minimum requirements for frontage and size. Is this true? In other words, are there requirements for further approval in order for development on the 30' lots to proceed? Or is it a "done deal" with only building permits required? So, If further approval IS required, what is the formal process for this type of development and what are the opportunities for public notice and Page 42 of 229 8b) 7:10 p.m. Ron Hoggarth and Jim Sarjeant, re: Propos... input? Will interested parties, or immediate neighbours be informed of applications etc.? Now, if further approval is NOT required, will this council consider a review of the conditions under which further development of these lots would be allowed? We ask this as we believe that we have legitimate concerns about such development conforming with the official plan. Ron has already mentioned many of these concerns but I will take this opportunity to recap:: - too much additional stress on an already taxed supply of well water - drainage which would be impacted by development and further loss of trees. Drainage is already an issue on Woodland. At least 3 of these lots have water courses running through them draining the land across the road. I know that the one next to me is wide and deep and directs a large volume of water in the spring . I can't imagine how they could build on the lots with watercourses. A neighbour said that Oro was so concerned about drainage that they sent Bylaw Officers to his home advising him not to impede the Woodland Drive ditch with snow. - pollution of Lake Simcoe through increased runoff and phosphorus loading - non - compliance with current bylaws and waterfront development guidelines eg min. 98 ft frontage . - non conformity with existing development In closing, Ron and I are here speaking on behalf of a large group of concerned Woodland Drive residents who wish to know if it is possible to have a public process beyond this meeting in order to further address our concerns. Would, for example, it be possible for a small contingent of residents to meet with the Oro - Medonte planners? Jim' n u arjeant, 885 Woodland Drive Page 43 of 229 O N N Lam.

REPORT 0 � � �A t e Proud Heritage, Exciting Future Report No. To: Prepared By: Council Shawn Binns, Director of RC 2013 -11 Recreation and Community Services Meeting Date: Subject: Motion # May 22, 2013 Carthew Bay Parking Roll #: R.M.S. File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1. That report R02013 -11 be received and adopted; 2. That the parking By -laws be reviewed to consider the partnership with the Carthew Bay General Store; 3. And that staff bring forward a lease agreement for Council's consideration. BACKGROUND: Over the past several years demand for recreational access to Lake Simcoe has been increasing. This is likely attributable to an upwards trend in outdoor recreational pursuits and increased recreational pressure from urban areas outside of the Township's boundaries. As a result the limited facilities and locations for public access around the lake have been under increasing pressure creating a number of issues such as safe parking, negative impact to adjacent property owners (noise, litter, parking), snow removal challenges, liability, resident vs. non - resident use, and limited facilities to meet an increasing public demand. Recognizing these issues Council has been proactive in developing solutions to optimize community access through changes in policies such as the implementation of non - resident user fees, amendments to by -laws for recreational access, proactive By -law enforcement and investments in facility improvements i.e. Line 9 Boat Launch. One of Council's strategic priorities is to increase opportunities for recreational access to Lake Simcoe. In 2012 staff began discussions with Mr. Senti Rassa, the new owner of the Carthew Bay General Store about the possibility of a partnership to provide increased parking for the existing boat launch and winter recreation. Mr. Rassa has since acquired the property north of the store and is willing to partner with the Township to construct a parking area on this property (See Attachment 1). Recreation and Community Services Report No. RC2013 -11 May 22, 2013 Page 1 of 4 Page 53 of 229 10c) Report No. RC2013 -11, Shawn Binns, Director of Recr... ANALYSIS: The proposed partnership with Mr. Rassa would entail entering into a lease agreement to construct a 200' (Line 14 South frontage x 60' deep parking area) on the property with the following terms: - The Township would be responsible for the cost of constructing the parking area - 7 year term, with option for renewal; - Amendments to By -laws to expand the non - resident permit parking to include non - resident day use fees for Carthew Bay. The day use fee would be administered by Carthew Bay Store and enforced through Municipal Law Enforcement; - Revenues from non - resident day use would be split between the Township and the Carthew Bay General Store. - Maintenance would be the responsibility of the Municipality. The proposal would allow for parking approximately twenty (20) vehicles with trailers or thirty (30) vehicles without trailers reducing the parking congestion on Lakeshore and Line 14 while providing additional public parking. While the proposal increases the amount of available parking for recreational access to Lake Simcoe the opportunities to improve the boat launch facility is limited as launching a boat requires boaters to interfere with traffic on Lakeshore which is not an ideal condition. Increasing parking may compound this condition with boaters. As such, the review of existing parking should be conducted to minimize any further issues. Both Transportation and Environmental Services and Municipal Law Enforcement have indicated that the partnership proposal would significantly enhance parking conditions for winter access to the lake. The parking area would also serve as an excellent staging point for the identified "lakeshore cycling route" identified in the preliminary cycling strategy. As with any good partnership the benefits need to be reciprocal between the parties. In this case, the Carthew Bay General Store will benefit from the parking lot, increased store traffic, and modest parking revenues. Mr. Rassa has indicated a future vision to expand his business while attempting to meet the needs of the immediate community. Over the past number of years Mr. Rassa has invested in improvements to the store and has provided a number of donations to grassroots community initiatives. This proposal will also assist Mr. Rassa in growing his business. Should Council approve the proposal it would be the goal to have parking lot constructed by July 1 for summer use.

CONCLUSION: The proposed partnership with the Carthew Bay General Store would greatly improve opportunities for public four season recreational access to Lake Simcoe at a nominal cost while providing reciprocal benefits to Carthew Bay General Store. In the absence of a partnership the Township would not be in a position to make any improvements within the Carthew Bay area.

Municipalities that provide safe drinking water are responsible for water protection, treatment, and storage of Municipal drinking water. We are required to enforce prohibition and risk management policies to address significant drinking water threats. These threats would be issues that could affect the well heads of each of our Municipal water systems, such as septic systems. The Municipality asked SSEA if there was an interest in developing a program to address our responsibilities for Risk Management Plans.

ANALYSIS: Severn Sound Environmental Association has been designated a Source Protection Authority, under the Clean Water Act (Ont. CWA Reg. 248/07). The Severn Sound Protection Area includes approximately 1/2 of the Township of Oro - Medonte. The remaining half is located in Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority. Both authorities have indicated that they have no issues with SSEA providing risk management services for all of our Municipal water systems. This service would be for the calendar year of 2013, and would at this point, include 7 of the 9 Municipalities within the Severn Sound area. With this number of Municipalities participating in this service, the cost for the Township of Oro - Medonte is not to exceed $2,713, plus HST. The Risk Management Plan would include the following: • Municipality would establish a by -law giving authority to SSEA to act as Risk Management Official • SSEA would set up the RMO office • SSEA would verify the actual number of existing "Significant Drinking Water Threats" present in the Municipality • SSEA would prepare a report of findings for 2013 verifying SDWT, prepare a database, and provide recommendations • SSEA, in consultation with LSRCA, and the Municipality, would develop a longer - term business case for the period after the acceptance of Source Protection Plan, by the Minister of the Environment This is the first phase in developing a program to address the Municipal responsibilities for a Risk Management Plan. The full implications of the Source Protection Plan are still under review, and may not be available until late 2013 or 2014. FINANCIAL / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS / RISK MANAGEMENT: The cost of $2,713.00, for the preparation of a Risk Management Plan for 2013, will be financed from the Water reserves.

Sherman, SSEA, March 5, 2013 a[a1 P5 In response to inquiries by the Township of Oro - Medonte, the Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) is developing a program to address the municipal responsibilities for Risk Management Plans as required under the Clean Water Act (Part IV) and under the proposed municipal requirements of the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcoe Source Protection Plan (SPP), submitted to the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE) in 2012. The purpose of this proposal is to outline the initial phase of addressing implementation of Part IV requirements that would be provided by SSEA on behalf of the Township of Oro - Medonte. The initial phase involves verification of existing Significant Drinking Water Threats, and preparing files for potential risk management plans that would address existing threats as will be required as part of SPP implementation. Other municipalities within the Severn Sound area have requested a similar proposal from the SSEA. The sharing of resources necessary to provide Risk Management services results in a cost - effective partnership between the participating municipalities and the SSEA. Background As the provider of safe municipal drinking water, the Township of Oro - Medonte will be required to deliver a risk management program to protect source waters. Under Part IV of the Clean Water Act (CWA), municipalities responsible for water protection, treatment and storage of municipal drinking water are required to enforce prohibition and risk management policies related to Significant Drinking Water Threats called for in the approved Source Protection Plan. The CWA allows for delegation to a board of health, planning board or source protection authority to undertake risk management duties on a municipality's behalf. However, the legal responsibility for Source Protection Plan implementation remains with the identified municipality. Joint implementation between two or more neighbouring municipalities or through a Source Protection Authority (e.g., SSEA) are options, with provisions in the CWA to create agreements in order to address cost - sharing and appoint risk management officials and inspectors. The SSEA has been designated a Source Protection Authority (SPA) under the Clean Water Act (Ont. CWA Reg. 248/07). The Severn Sound Source Protection Area (Figure 1) includes just over half of the Township of Oro - Medonte. In addition to this Area, the Township has water systems located within the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority which have also been designated Source Protection Authorities under the Clean Water Act (Ont. CWA Reg. 248/07). The Township municipal drinking water systems, as well as those located in adjoining municipalities and extending into the Township, are described in the approved Assessment Reports for these areas (Figure 2). In discussion with the Page 61 of 229 10d) Report TES 2013 -10, Jerry Ball, Director of Transpo... LSRCA and NVCA, these organizations have no issue with the SSEA acting to provide the risk management services to the Township of Oro - Medonte for 2013. In addition, these reports enumerate the properties that are, or could be, Significant Drinking Water Threats (SDWTs) to municipal drinking water systems according to MOE prescribed methods. The SDWTs for the Township of Oro - Medonte include a number of septic systems. These threats are subject to re- inspection under the Building Departments of each local municipality in response to changes to the Ontario Building Code (Ontario Regulation 350/06 which was recently amended by Ontario Regulation 315/10). The results of these inspections are not included in PART IV of the Clean Water Act, but will be part of reporting to the province through the Source Protection Authorities. The status of each septic system covered by the Ontario Building Code within the high vulnerability zones of water supplies will be confirmed through this process and subsequent re- inspections. This work is already proceeding through your municipality. A smaller number of SDWTs (e.g., handling and storage of fuel and heavy solvents (DNAPLs)) will require Risk Management Plans under Part IV of the CWA and as indicated in the proposed Source Protection Plan. Information on these threats is currently limited by available data, with minimal field verification. Additional work is required to verify these potential threats with landowners. This work should proceed prior to the Source Protection Plan coming into force, in order to verify the number of potential Risk Management Plans needed for existing threats, and to prepare for accurate reporting. The attached Table 1 summarizes the potential Significant Drinking Water Threats associated with the Township of Oro - Medonte (summarized from the Assessment report). The full implications of Source Protection Plan implementation are under review and may not be available until well into 2013 or 2014. At this time, there is no indication from the Province that funding of the Source Protection Program will continue into 2013 to support the work proposed. The Source Protection Committee and Staff are continuing to seek provincial funding for implementation of Source Water Protection Plans. Recommendation We are proposing that the Township of Oro - Medonte enter into an agreement with the Severn Sound Environmental Association to provide Risk Management services. The SSEA is prepared to enter into an agreement with the Township of Oro - Medonte to provide Risk Management Official services for 2013. This proposal includes the following elements that are recommended for the 2013 calendar year as the initial phase of a Source Protection Management Program. Tasks for 2013 (Pre -SPP Approval): • The Township of Oro - Medonte would approve the initial budget for 2013 — At this point 7 of the 9 municipalities within the Severn Sound Area wish to participate in the proposal. Provided at least seven of the nine municipal partners agree to Page 62 of 229 10d) Report TES 2013 -10, Jerry Ball, Director of Transpo... participate, a cost share will be arranged with the Township of an amount not to exceed $2,713 (plus HST). • The Township would establish a by -law giving authority to SSEA to act as Risk Management Official (RMO) on behalf of the municipality. Municipal staff would work with the RMO. • SSEA would set up the RMO office — Initially this involves setting up administrative processes in consultation with the lead SPA and the MOE as required under the CWA and in order to verify Significant Drinking Water Threats. • SSEA would verify the actual number of existing Significant Drinking Water Threats present within the municipality — In most cases this should be possible within 2013, however, depending on complexity of property inspections, and number of potential risk management plans, this task may require additional time beyond 2013. • SSEA would prepare a report of findings for 2013 including verified and confirmed Significant Drinking Water Threats, preparation of databases and recommendations for risk management and produce any required reporting to the municipality, LSRCA and MOE. • SSEA would retain files of confirmed threat properties that will require risk management on behalf of the municipality in accordance with CWA requirements. • SSEA in consultation with LSRCA and the municipality would develop a longer - term business case for the period after the acceptance of the Source Protection Plan by the Minister of the Environment. 3 Page 63 of 229 v m rn 0 N N i OtIv 'rtl a70unu Source Water Protection Area Watershed 10d) Report TES 2013 -10, Jerry Ball, Director of Transpo... iTA i 1 ! 1 -V-& i - South Georgian Say R N K NG WATER . `iu p - i _� Lake Sirnroe ' l- m Mack - Severn River Source Protection Region; AST FOR CL €n.ta �vAT>€R ,._ Watershed COLDWATER TAY WELL "SUPPLY SEVERN ROBIN CREST 1 ' �. fEA.KE W ELL SUPPLY � WAftirlltlSTER � �4rn = WELL SUPPLY Cj.'_ Htc .HJ1N ; Sdvern Sound esource protection Area r WASS LAKE WOODLANDS € 4NTE HILLS " �M{{ �4 {,� E SWELL SUPPLY �l WELL SUPPLY ORIL IAL r Severn Sound Watershed �RILLIA f i s ;; WATER SUPPLY S:wt HILLSDALE I� WELL SUPPLY SUGAR BUSHi WELL SUPPLY Ht3RSESHOE HIGHLANDS WELL SUPPLY OROMWED DNTE {` NIAP`�EV ii(iD ESTATES /,WELL SUPPLY CIA.IGHURST Lake SiMeoe WELL SUPPLY Waters'hsecl( \Nottawasaga Valley Watershed CANTERBURY t �E BROOK t WELL� uPPLYf WELL S, Nottaw saiga Valley Source Protection Area Lakes Sifncoe and Cou hiching -Slack River `. �HARBOURWOOD Source Protection Area HWY 26 W €LLkSUPPLY ° gg SIiA SPRINGWATER `WELL SUPPLY, D WE LL SUPPLY ILA k.Ylt_Of Page 65 of 229 ZNNISFIL W Municipal Supply Well in Township of Cuts- Medrrnfe Fla 2 Chinking Water System MW WHPA -A (100m) Vulnerable Areas in WHPA -B (2 years time of travel) Township of Oro -Il e€lonte WHPA -C (5 years time of travel) Cheated by: i SRC4 1 WHPA Cl (10 years time of travel) Date: 2011-03-29 WHPA -D (25 years time of travel) TM SWP watershed Area Scale; 1:200,000 [Upper Tier Municipality 0 2 41krn a _4.� Lower Tier Municipality s G`iF9 Lang 17N, tdAP383 #�ryS !`9 p produced by the Lake S—r— Reglen Gonservati— Authanty, lead agency of the South Georgian Bay Lake Simcae Reg ion Source Protection Region.

File #: 4346- 010 -003- Elizabeth Jones 297000000 RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1. THAT Report No. DS 2013 -029 be received and adopted. 2. THAT Council authorizes the request of Kevin and Elizabeth Jones to temporarily reside in the existing dwelling which will be converted to an accessory building after the completion of the new dwelling to a maximum of twelve months from the time of issuance of the new dwelling building permit. 3. AND THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate by -law authorizing the attached agreement to this effect. I BACKGROUND: I The subject property is approximately 54 acres (21.9 ha), and is located on the north -east side of the intersection of Line 7 North and the Old Barrie Road (See Attachment #1). There is an existing dwelling located on the property, which was constructed in approximately 1900. The applicant is proposing construction of a new dwelling, and is requesting Council's permission to temporarily reside in the existing dwelling, which will be converted to an accessory building (woodworking shop) after completion of the new home. The applicants are intending to begin new construction in the summer of 2013 and based on further discussions anticipate the construction to be completed in a period of approximately 12 months. They are requesting permission from the Township to maintain the existing dwelling for the 12 month period. The Township's Comprehensive Zoning By -law 97 -95 only permits one dwelling per property, therefore permission is required in order to allow the new permit to be issued prior to demolition of the existing dwelling. ANALYSIS: The Township has historically allowed owners to temporarily reside in existing dwellings or trailers and allow for a building permit to be issued for a new dwelling. This practice has been followed contrary to the Township's Zoning By -law, which only allows one dwelling per property; DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -029 Page 1 of 6 Page 67 of 229 10e) Report No. DS2013 -29, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... however is a reasonable compromise to assist owners in these cases. A financial deposit and agreement (see Attachment #2) stipulating the terms of the approval will be required to be executed with the owners which ensures compliance after the new dwelling is complete. Council has established a precedent of granting one -year temporary permissions on other properties in the Township; as noted above, the applicants are requesting consideration for this to be extended to a period of 12 months; should this not be considered favorably by Council it is anticipated that the applicant's will not be completed after the one year time frame and will be back before Council for a 6 month extension to the agreement. As the applicants are required to post securities in the amount of $ 20,000.00 to ensure the removal of the original dwelling, it is anticipated that the applicant will expedite the conversion in order to have their securities returned expeditiously. I FINANCIAL / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS / RISK MANAGEMENT: I A $20,000 security deposit is required prior to issuance of a building permit for the new dwelling to ensure removal of the existing dwelling once the new dwelling is constructed.

File #: Concession 14, Township of Oro - Medonte RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1. THAT Report No. DS 2013 -030 be received and adopted. 2. THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate By -law to adopt the Temporary Use to permit corporate meeting and special event facilities, and a motor home sales and display establishment for a period of up to 3 years during the comprehensive update to the Township's Official Plan and Zoning By -law. BACKGROUND: Mr. and Mrs. Brennan, Brennan's Inc., have submitted a Temporary Use By -law application for the two existing industrial - commercial buildings located on the subject property within the East Part of Lot 16, Concession 14. The subject lands are located at 5071 Highway 11 North, and have an area of approximately 12.3 hectares (30.5 acres) and a lot frontage of approximately 585 metres (1920 feet) on Highway 11. The property currently contains their sales and service facilities for heating air conditioning, plumbing and electrical services, and fenced storage compound for U -Haul trailers. There are two existing commercial - industrial buildings on the property that were the subject of renovations in 2012 to divide the existing buildings into units for rental, compatible with the owners current use of the property. The two buildings have a total floor area of approximately 16,000 square feet. ANALYSIS: Section 39 of the Planning Act permits Council to authorize a use on a temporary basis for a period of time not to exceed three years for the date of passing of the by -law. The Temporary Use by -law proposes to permit the meeting and special event facilities and motor home sales DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -030 Page 1 of 4 Page 73 of 229 1 Of) Report No. DS2013 -30, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... and display uses on the subject property for a period of up to three years at which time it is anticipated that the Comprehensive Official Plan and Zoning By -law updates will have been completed and there would be a decision of Council on the appropriate designation and zoning given the long standing commercial - industrial use of the property and its location on Highway 11. Section E1.2 of the Township's Official Plan contains the policies for Council's consideration prior to approval of a temporary use by -law as follows: Prior to the approval of a temporary use by -law, Council shall be satisfied that the following principles and criteria are met: a) The proposed use shall be of a temporary nature and shall not entail any major construction or investment on the part of the owner so that the owner will not experience undue hardship in reverting to the original use upon the termination of the temporary use; b) The proposed use shall be compatible with adjacent land uses and the character of the surrounding neighbourhood; C) The proposed use shall not require the extension or expansion of existing municipal services; d) The proposed use shall not create any traffic circulation problems within the area nor shall it adversely affect the volume and /or type of traffic serviced by the area's roads; e) Parking facilities required by the proposed use shall be provided entirely on -site; f) The proposed use shall not warrant the need for road improvements during the term of the use; and, f) The proposed use shall generally be beneficial to the neighbourhood or the community as a whole. The subject property already contains two commercial - industrial buildings that are proposed to be utilized for the temporary uses, are accessed from the existing entrance on the highway 11 overpass, and therefore no major construction or investment is required by the applicant. The long standing commercial - industrial sue of the property has not historically been recognized in the Township planning documents, and a request from the current landowner has been received for Council to consider this request. As part of the recent permit process, the Ministry of Transportation has stated they have no concerns with the current commercial - industrial use of the site and that it is sufficiently setback from Highway 11. In addition they have approved the signage associated with the current business. On the basis of the above, the temporary use would satisfy the criteria identified above and allow Council the opportunity to support the temporary use until such time as there is a decision on the submitted Zoning By -law Amendment application.

THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate Temporary Use By -law to permit temporary special events for a period of up to 3 years during the comprehensive update to the Township's Official Plan and Zoning By -law. BACKGROUND: Robert Huter, on behalf of Mount St Louis Moonstone Ski Resorts Ltd., have submitted a Temporary Use By -law application in order to permit special events on the ski resort property, such as Tough Mudder. The subject lands are located at 24 Mount St Louis Road West, and have a lot area of approximately 202 hectares (500 acres) with access from Mount St Louis Road West. The property currently contains a number of buildings (ski chalet, maintenance buildings) associated with their ski resort in addition to the ski hills and snow making ponds. ANALYSIS: Section 39 of the Planning Act permits Council to authorize a use on a temporary basis for a period of time not to exceed three years for the date of passing of the by -law. The by -law proposes to permit temporary special events on the subject property for a period of up to three years at which time it is anticipated that the Comprehensive Official Plan and Zoning By -law updates will have been completed and there would be a decision of Council on the appropriateness of designating and zoning the subject lands to continue to permit the operation of special events.

The special events anticipated on the subject property rely on the existing amenities and buildings and therefore do not require significant investment on the part of the landowner. The existing access to the property will continue to provide access for any special events, and specific to each event the necessary parking and traffic plans are required to be approved by all relevant authorities including the Township. The intent of the temporary use will be to provide additional opportunities for temporary special events in the Township and will continue to promote the tourism and recreational amenities within the Township. On the basis of the above, the temporary use would satisfy the criteria identified above and allow Council the opportunity to support the temporary use until such time as there is a decision on the submitted Zoning By -law Amendment application.

File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action For Information Only It is recommended: 1. THAT Report No. DS 2013 -032 be received and adopted. 2. That Council support the re- naming of Line 1 North from Horseshoe Valley Road to the dead end to "McNutt Road ". 3. That the Clerk bring forward the appropriate by -law for Council's consideration. BACKGROUND: A request was received from a landowner on Line 1 North above the Horseshoe Valley Road for Council to consider re- naming this section of road due to its lack of connection to the balance of Line 1. The request included a letter of support from all other landowners located on this portion of Line 1 North and is attached to this report (Attachment #1). The consideration of the street re- naming request is the purpose of this report. ANALYSIS: In considering proposed street names, the Township of Oro - Medonte has the following Street Naming Policy in place: When naming or changing street names in the Township, consideration be given to one of the following: a. A historic name which once identified the location; b. The surnames of local pioneer families in the immediate vicinity; c. Any prominent geographic, natural or practical feature which makes the location unique or identifiable; d. The names of local servicemen who made the ultimate sacrifice; DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -032 Page 1 of 8 Page 81 of 229 1 Oh) Report No. DS2013 -32, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... e. The names of prominent former residents who contributed to the betterment of the Township through their community involvement, athletic or business achievements. 2. Where there are two or more proposed street names in a new development or plan of subdivision, at least one street name will have regard to the above criteria and the developer be encouraged to research the following resources: a. Oro - Medonte Historical Association; b. Simcoe County Historical Society c. Simcoe County Archives & Township records (i.e. assessment rolls, historical publications); d. Local Registry Office (former land ownerships). 3. All proposed new street names shall be circulated to internal departments for review and comment prior to Council approval. 4. The duplication of street names used in adjacent municipalities shall be minimized as not to conflict with emergency response addresses. Circulation of proposed new names will be made by the Township to the neighbouring municipalities for comment when deemed appropriate. 5. A report will be submitted to Council for the approval of the proposed names. As submitted by the landowner Private George Robert McNutt resided on this section of Line 1 North. Private McNutt is also recognized on the Township's Cenotaph located at the Old Town Hall as a serviceman who lost his life in in his duty of fighting for his country. The proposed street name was circulated to internal departments and to surrounding municipalities for comment and no objections were provided. Since George Robert McNutt represents a servicemen who made a sacrifice for his country as recognized on the Township cenotaph and therefore the proposed street name is therefore considered to satisfy item 1.d" of the Township's Street Naming Policy. Further, it is noted that no duplication of the proposed street name "McNutt Road" exists in adjacent municipalities. It is recognized that the Township continued to establish the roads between each Concession as "Line" (i.e. Line 1 North or South); however it is recognized that this section of Line 1 does not currently connect to the other portions of Line 1 and due to topography and natural features (Copeland Forest) is not anticipated to connect in the future. In addition, Line 1 North at the border with the Township of Springwater is named Scarlett Line and not Line 1.

THAT the applicant be notified of Council's decision. BACKGROUND: The purpose of this report is to consider proposed Amendments to the Township's Official Plan and Comprehensive Zoning By -law, and to make recommendations to Council regarding the disposition of Official Plan Amendment application 2012- OPA -02 and Zoning By -law Amendment application 2011 - ZBA -11. The subject lands are located on the east side of Line 13 North between the 15/16 Side Road and the Old Barrie Road. The applications proposed amendments to the Township's planning documents to permit a class "A" kennel operation on the subject lands, municipally known as 715 Line 13 North. The subject lands have approximately 45 metres (150 feet) of lot frontage on Line 13 North, a depth of 427 metres (1400 feet), and a lot area of approximately 2.02 hectares (5 acres). DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -033 Page 1 of 8 Page 89 of 229 10i) Report No. DS2013 -33, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... In June 2011, the applicant submitted a Zoning By -law Amendment Application 2011- ZBA -11 which proposed to amend the zoning of the subject lands from the Agricultural /Rural (A/RU), Rural Residential Two (RUR2), Mineral Aggregate Resources Two (MAR2), and Environmental Protection (EP) Zones to a site specific zone to permit a Class "A" kennel on the subject lands. A Class "A" dog kennel is defined as a dog kennel used for the keeping of no more than eight (8) dogs over twelve weeks of age. The applicant has indicated on their application that they have 7 miniature schnauzers that are kept in the home, and that they breed them twice a year (max.) and also show these dogs. The application was circulated for comments to internal Departments, the County of Simcoe, the LSRCA, and other relevant commenting agencies. Following the above circulation, no objections have been stated from internal departments at the Township. The LSRCA indicated they have no objection to the applications. The County comments in their letter dated May 16, 2012 are discussed below. A Public Meeting as required under Section 34(12) of the Planning Act was held on March 20, 2013 in order to receive comments from members of the public on the application. Notice of the meeting was issued on February 28, 2012 and posted on the subject property that same date. Written submissions were received from neighbouring property owners and verbal comments were also received at the meeting. Comments related to the small size of the property for a kennel, the permanent use of the property for a kennel, the noise from the dogs barking, and the reduced setbacks to the neighbouring dwellings. These matters are discussed further below. ANALYSIS: The Lands subject to this application are designated Oro Moraine Core - Corridor and Oro Moraine Enhancement Area in the Township's Official Plan. Permitted uses in these designations include single detached dwellings, home occupations, passive recreational uses, conservation uses, fish and wildlife management, existing agricultural uses, bed and breakfast establishments in existing single detached dwellings. These designations do not permit a commercial dog kennel and therefore an amendment to the Official Plan is required for the proposed use; commercial dog kennels are solely permitted in the Agricultural and Rural designations subject to the provisions of Section C1.3.5 and an amendment to the Township's Zoning By -law. In addition, the property is located within the Oro Moraine Core Area which requires any application that requires a Planning Act approval, such as the Official Plan and Zoning By -law Amendments submitted, are subject to the preparation of an Environmental Impact Study and Management Plan, which to date has not been submitted by the applicant. The requirement was identified during pre - consultation meetings with the applicant and also in the County of Simcoe letter of May 16, 2012. Section C1.3.5 contains the specific Official Plan policies to be considered by Council. These 4 policies state °a dog kennel may be permitted in the Agricultural designation subject to an Amendment to the implementing Zoning By -law. Before considering such an amendment Council shall be satisfied that: ` a) The size of the proposed dog kennel is appropriate for the area; b) The building housing the dog kennel is set back an appropriate distance from lot lines; and c) An undue concentration of kennels does not already exist in the general vicinity of the proposed kennel. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -033 Page 2 of S Page 90 of 229 10i) Report No. DS2013 -33, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... A new dog kennel may also be subject to a Site Plan Agreement that deals with issues such a buffering, the location and size of buildings, and landscaping to minimize the impact of the use on adjacent land uses." The applicant has submitted the application for the zoning by -law amendment as required by the policies of the Township's Official Plan; however prior to analysis of these policies consideration to the Official Plan Amendment is required and as noted below is deemed not to conform as the applicant has not submitted the required Environmental Impact Study (EIS) for further review and approval prior to consideration of the balance of the Official Plan policies. FINANCIAL/ LEGAL IMPLICATIONS/ RISK MANAGEMENT: Potential financial and legal implications should the decision of Council be appealed to the Ontario Municipal Board. POLICIES /LEGISLATION: Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan The Township of Oro - Medonte Official Plan permits commercial dog kennels in both the Agricultural (Section Cl) and Rural (Section C2) designations; however both sections identify that the use is subject to the policies of Section C1.3.5. The applicant has submitted an Official Plan Amendment application as the subject lands are currently designated Oro Moraine Core and Oro Moraine Enhancement Area and do not permit a commercial dog kennel and would therefore not be yet subject to the policies of Section C1.2.3.5. Under the existing policies the applications were required to be supported with the necessary Environmental Impact Study which to date has not been submitted by the applicant and therefore the applications do not conform with the requirements of the Official Plan and further analysis of conformity with the policies of Section C1.2.3.5 is not required at this time. PROVINCIAL POLICY STATEMENT, 2005 The purpose of the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) is to provide direction to municipalities in Ontario for appropriate land use planning and development, "while protecting resources of provincial interest, public health and safety, and the quality of the natural environment'. Section 1.1.4 of the PPS states that "[in] rural areas ... in municipalities ... a) permitted uses and activities shall relate to ... limited residential development and other rural land uses ... d) development that is compatible with the rural landscape and can be sustained by rural service levels should be promoted...". The proposed amendment which would permit a dog kennel on a lot to be protected for natural environment purposes is not considered to conform with these policies. PLACES TO GROW: GROWTH PLAN FOR THE GREATER GOLDEN HORSESHOE, 2006 (OFFICE CONSOLIDATION, JANUARY 2012) The purpose of the Places to Grow policies is to provide direction to municipalities in Ontario for managing growth to ensure the efficient use of land and infrastructure resources, and to protect agricultural lands and other natural resources from incompatible development. The Places to Grow policies of the Province are, however, silent with respect to the form of Official plan and DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -033 Page 3 of 8 Page 91 of 229 10i) Report No. DS2013 -33, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... Zoning By -law Amendments proposed and, therefore, its policies are not considered to apply with respect to the proposed amendments. COUNTY OF SIMCOE OFFICIAL PLAN As per Schedule 5.1, the subject property is in the Greenlands designation in the County's Official Plan. Section 3.7.6 to the County's Official Plan lists a variety of permitted uses that would be acceptable conditional in the completion of an Environmental Impact Study (EIS) satisfactory to the County, Township, and LSRCA. The list of uses would not specifically include commercial dog kennel operations however the County in their letter has not identified a requirements to amend the County Official Plan to include this use. The County policies further allow a local municipalities policies to be more restrictive in regards to the uses permitted. The Oro Moraine Core Area policies are more restrictive in the form of permitted uses and therefore amendments to the Plan to allow for additional uses are considered significant. Without the completion of the required EIS to the satisfaction of the County, conformity with the County Official Plan has not been confirmed. TOWNSHIP OF ORO- MEDONTE ZONING BY -LAW 97 -95, AS AMENDED The subject lands are zoned Rural Residential Two (RUR2), Agricultural /Rural (A/RU), Environmental Protection (EP), and Mineral Aggregate Resources Two (MAR2) Zone pursuant to Schedule A13 to the Township's Zoning By -law, and the proposed Zoning By -law Amendment seeks to establish a new site - specific standard to permit a dog kennel operation on the subject property. Dog kennels are not permitted as of right in the Township's Zoning By -law and are subject to the approval of a site - specific zoning by -law amendment in order for them to be constructed and operated. On this basis the applicant has submitted such an application for Council's consideration in addition to the Official Plan Amendment to establish the principle of a kennel operation on the subject lands. The subject property contains approximately 45 metres (150 feet) of frontage on Line 13 North, 427 metres (1400 feet) of lot depth, and a lot area of 2.02 hectares (5 acres). In September 2012, Council adopted a General Zoning By -law Amendment (By -law 2012 -164) which established zone provisions for the lot size and setbacks required for Class "A" and "B" kennels as defined in the Township's Kennel Licensing By -law. The proposed General Zoning By -law Amendment provided additional clarification on definitions for Class A and B kennels and further site specific lot size and setback requirements. Dogs kennels continue to be subject to an amendment to the Zoning By -law in accordance with the Official Plan and there the proposed general amendment to provide consistency with the Kennel Licensing By -law is in keeping with the intent and purpose and conforms with the policies of the Official Plan. By -law 2012 -164 established standards as it relates to subsections (a) and (b) which specified that a Class "A" kennel which provides for the keeping of a maximum of 8 dogs, requires a minimum lot size of 4 hectares and Class "B" which provides for the keeping of a maximum of 50 dogs, and requires a minimum lot size of 20 hectares. Prior to the implementation of these new standards all kennels were subject to a zoning by -law amendment and required a larger lot area and setback in order to satisfy the policies of the Township's Official Plan which stated: DEVELOPMENT SERVICES May 22, 2013 Report No. DS2013 -033 Page 4 of 8 Page 92 of 229 10i) Report No. DS2013 -33, Andria Leigh, Director of Dev... "Before considering such an amendment, Council shall be satisfied that the size of the proposed dog kennel is appropriate for the area; the building housing the dog kennel is set back an appropriate distance from lot lines; and an undue concentration of dog kennels does not already exist in the general vicinity of the proposed kennel. The Official Plan also states that a new dog kennel may also be subject to a Site Plan Agreement that deals with issues such as buffering, the location and size of buildings and landscaping to minimize the impact of the use on adjacent land uses." The applicant's proposal is considered a Class A kennel and would therefore require a lot size of 4 hectares, the subject lands have a lot area of 2 hectares and would therefore not comply with the minimum requirements. In addition, By -law 2012 -164 enacted setback distances deemed to be appropriate from lot lines and the nearest residential dwelling for a dog kennel operation. As it relates to a Class A kennel (as proposed), the minimum setback to all lot lines is 100 metres and the minimum distance to the nearest residential dwelling is 130 metres. The applicant has identified on their aerial drawing, that the kennel within the existing dwelling and adjacent fenced area is a distance of 25 metres (82 feet) to the front lot line and 33 metres (108 feet) to the nearest dwelling and are therefore significantly less than the required setback provisions established by Council. As stated above, the proposed zoning by -law amendment for the proposed Class "A" kennel; does not comply with either the lot area or setback requirements. On this basis, the approval of the proposed amendment would establish a site - specific standard that is less than the general provisions for all kennels adopted by Council in 2012. The issues raised through the public process included the impact of noise from a kennel operation not solely by the current landowner but future landowners given the as of right permission to continue the use. This issue is compounded with the small lot area and minimal distance to the existing residences which cannot be mitigated through this process. On this basis, the proposed site - specific amendment which would permit a commercial dog kennel is not considered to meet the general intent of the Zoning By -law and would not be considered appropriate for the desirable development of the lot.

CONSULTATIONS: • Township Departments — no objections stated ATTACHMENTS: 1: Location Map 2: Applicant's site plan CONCLUSION: On the basis of the above, it is staff's opinion that the proposed amendments that would permit a kennel operation on the property which does not satisfy the lot area or setback requirements and would not be considered to conform with the policies of the Official Plan should be denied. The proposed amendments to the Township's Official Plan and Zoning By -law 97 -95, as amended, to permit a dog kennel operation are not considered to maintain the general intent of the Township's Zoning By -law, to conform with the intent of the Official Plan for the Township.

File #: RECOMMENDATION(S): Requires Action XD For Information Only It is recommended that: 1. Report No. CS2013 -09, Janette Teeter, Deputy Clerk re: Guthrie Cemetery Care & Maintenance Fund Request be received and adopted. 2. That the Municipality respectfully declines to hold the Guthrie Cemetery's Care and Maintenance Fund. 3. And that the applicant be advised of Council's decision under the Director of Corporate Services /Clerk's signature to assist them in their application to the Registrar. BACKGROUND: The Municipality has received a request (attached) from Mr. David Campbell, Secretary- Treasurer of the Guthrie Cemetery Board to request that the Municipality decline to hold the Cemetery's Care & Maintenance Fund. The Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002 requires that a cemetery shall maintain a Care & Maintenance Fund. The purpose of a Care and Maintenance Fund, or account, is to generate income for the care and maintenance of the cemetery. The Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act, 2002, Ontario Regulation 30111, Section 84(1) provides that: 84. (1) A cemetery operator may establish a care and maintenance account for the purposes of care and maintenance trust money if, (a) the account is in relation to a cemetery that is not a commercial cemetery; Corporate Services Report No. CS2013 -09 May 22, 2013 Page 1 of 4 Page 97 of 229 10j) Report No. CS2013 -09, Doug Irwin, Director of Corpo... (b) the cemetery operator holds in trust or will hold in trust less than $50,000 in total for care and maintenance in respect of all cemeteries that the cemetery operator operates; (c) the cemetery operator has requested that the municipality act as trustee as permitted under section 85 and the municipality has declined to do so; and (d) the registrar has not determined that the use of a care and maintenance account by the operator would be contrary to the public interest. O. Reg. 30/11, s. 84 (1). Section 85 provides that a Municipality may act as the Trustee of a Care and Maintenance Fund, or account. As indicated in Mr. Campbell's correspondence, Guthrie Cemetery Board would like to apply to the Registrar to manage the Cemetery's Care & Maintenance Fund. They have met the first two requirements and do not anticipate a problem with the fourth component. The purpose of this report to confirm the third component of Section 84(1) of O. Reg. 30/11. I ANALYSIS: I Per the Ministry of Consumer Services, if Council "declines" to hold the Cemetery's Care and Maintenance Fund, this will allow the operator to then make a request to the Registrar to be allowed to have the funds held in a regular bank account vs. a formal trust fund. Mr. Campbell's request, if adopted, will allow the Board to administer the account themselves and thereby eliminate the administration fees that they are currently being charged by their trustee. He has also confirmed this process would allow the cemetery to invest these funds in adherence with provincial requirements. The Director of Finance/Treasurer /Deputy CAO supports Mr. Campbell's request. FINANCIAL / LEGAL IMPLICATIONS / RISK MANAGEMENT: None.

Attachment to Report No. CS2013 -09 - - - -- Original Message---- - From: David Campbell Sent: Sunday, May 5, 2013 5:05 PM To: Irwin, Doug Subject: Guthrie Cemetery On behalf of Guthrie Cemetery (corner of Highway 11 and the 4th of Oro) I am requesting a release from the township of Oro - Medonte for the provincial government regarding our cemetery's care and maintenance fund. The provincial government requires all cemeteries to establish a care and maintenance fund. The principle of this fund remains intact but the interest earned is used by the cemetery for yearly maintenance. Prior to July 1, 2012 these funds were required to be held by an arm's length trustee. Subsequent to July 1, 2012 according to the Funeral, Burial and Cremation Services Act (Section 84(1) of O. Reg 30/11) the government will allow these funds to be held by the cemetery if four conditions are met. 1 - the cemetery is not a commercial cemetery 2 - the trust fund is less than $50,000 3 - the cemetery operator has requested that the municipality act as trustee and the municipality has declined to do so 4 - the registrar has the use of a care and maintenance account by the operator would not be contrary to the public interest. We meet the first two requirements and anticipate no problem meeting the fourth but we are hoping that the township will see fit to decline holding our maintenance funds. This would allow us to administer the account ourselves and thereby eliminate significant administration fees that we are currently being charged by our trustee. Given the fund's significant tracking and recording requirements we hope that the township would be disinclined to administer the funds which would allow the cemetery to invest these funds in adherence with provincial requirements.

Korolnek(a)simcoe.cal Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 11:01 AM To: Hughes, Harry Cc: Aitken, Mark; Meile, Christian; Hunter, Jim; Doherty, Chris Subject: FW: streetlight Hello Councillor Hughes — I reviewed this intersection in terms of illumination and speed with staff. Regarding a streetlight at this intersection, I have attached the Council endorsed policy for illumination of rural intersections which was adopted in 2006. Essentially the County uses the Transportation Assoc. of Canada (TAC) warrant analysis to determine if lighting is warranted. In adopting the TAC warrant, the County attempts to ensure that all local municipalities are treated equally and there is a recognized standard to determine where lighting should be installed. In the case of an intersection of a County Road with a local road, where lighting is warranted, the County budgets to install and maintain a streetlight. If the warrant shows that illumination is not required but the local municipality still wants to install, they have the ability to do so provided it meets the County standard and all capital and future maintenance costs are paid by the local municipality. Christian Meile completed the warrant for this location and even partial lighting is not warranted. The warrant takes into account road geometrics (operating speed, sight distances intersection configuration and horizontal curvature), operational factors (traffic counts, road classification, pedestrian counts, posted speeds), surrounding lighting, and collision history. The scoring inputs on the warrant form were conservative to make sure the need was overestimated. The collision history is a little more difficult, our records indicate a total of 4 collisions over a 9 year period — with only 2 occurring at night. (We do not yet have 2012 accident reports from the MTO but we should be seeing them soon). For the warrant we have identified a frequency of 0 collision per year due to inadequate lighting. Christian has indicated that there was also talk of a request for a flashing beacon to be located at the intersection. The County follows the guidelines of Ontario Traffic Manual, which is the recognized standard in Ontario for traffic controls, signage etc. In Book 12, section 3, it does speak to the use of hazard identification beacons for this purpose and identifies that they may be used to emphasize the need for caution where a problem exists of at least 6 collisions which have occurred over a 36 month period. Our records indicate the intersection is well below this threshold. Your email also talks about speed concerns in the area. The County completed 3 committee reports back in 2006/2007 on speed limits, signing and entrances in this area of County Road 11- Old Barrie Road. The reduction in speed limit was not warranted; however, staff made some improvements to the intersection signage and completed some extensive brushing to improve visibility at the intersection. If you think that any significant changes have occurred from 2006/2007, staff can re -do the speed study this summer. Please let me know. In summary, lighting at this intersection is not warranted under the County's policy; however, the municipality may install lighting to County standards at its own cost. The 2006/ 2007 speed study can be updated at your request. Please let me know and I will make the necessary arrangements. Debbie Korolnek, P. Eng.

CS 06 -193 MEETING DATE: June 14, 2006 SUBJECT: Adoption of County of Simcoe Road Lighting Policy RECOMMENDATION: THAT the proposed policy regarding intersection illumination, as outlined in Item CS 06 -193, be adopted. BACKGROUND: The County receives several requests, from a variety of sources, to install intersection lighting at selected intersection locations. In an effort to apply a consistent approach, the following policy is being recommended; • If the request is for the intersection of two County Roads, staff will complete the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) warrant for the illumination of rural intersections. If the warrant is met, lighting will be installed and maintained by the County of Simcoe. If the warrant is not met, the location will continue to be monitored to identify when lighting may be needed. • If the request is for the intersection of a County Road with a local Road, the same TAC warrant will be applied. If the warrant is met, lighting will be installed and maintained by the County of Simcoe. If the warrant is not met, the option will be available to the local municipality to install illumination provided all County of Simcoe standards are met and all costs for installation and maintenance are borne by the local municipality. At isolated rural intersections, street lighting serves several functions. Primarily, lighting illuminates areas of potential conflict between vehicles, but also identifies the intersection location for approaching drivers. The Transportation Association of Canada warrant is fairly comprehensive and is industry accepted and used across Canada. It does consider several factors including geometric, operational, environmental and collision history at each location. It is understood that the warrant alone is not intended to be an absolute indication of whether illumination is required but it does provide for a method of selecting and prioritizing intersections at which lighting will be beneficial.

Planning has misinterpreted the zoning of our property as was originally intended by RPM -367. We know this is a result of a simple Red Line error or confusion in Schedule A16 ofthecurrentLoning Bylaw. According to your planning staff 131k.88 is currently zoned [ RESIDENTIAL EP2 in the Official Plan and PRIVATE RECREATIONAL PR *44 and EP in the current zoning Bylaw] We strongly disagree with this and believe it to be an " EXISTING RESIDENTIAL LOT of RECORD" as is consistent with the Official Plan. please see attached correspondence from Allan Wieb. of your planning staff. We believe this misinterpretation can be traced back to By law 92-99 which was a severance to create part BLOCK 88 and currently described in your zoning by law pg 81 (7.44) (see attached). It is quite obvious from this documentation that PR#44 designation does not apply to block 88 as these are two separate properties Please instruct your planning staff to do some housekeeping measures to correct this misinterpretation. We ask the mayor and council members for prompt attention to this matter as it has been on going for over a year and is greatly affecting the use and how we deal with our property. I have also attached for your use, past by laws. their respective schedules that show a history of the property that may help you and your staff to rectify this matter. In closing with referance to the PR444 designation council and staff should ask a simple question, what authority legal or under the planning act would allow a municipality to permit members of a community the right to use another private property, especially owned by a corporation and give designation a waste transfer station without some agreement between the two parties ?.

In response to your message, this is to confirm that I have met with Andria and Glenn to discuss the zoning of the property subject to Consent Applications 2011 -B -26 and 2011 -B-27, and this is to confirm that an amendment to the Township's Zoning By -law Schedule A16 would be required to achieve any residential use on the property. In your email message below, you make note of a `discrepancy" in the zoning of the property and, if you believe the current zoning of the property (as per Schedule A16, linked above) to be discrepant with what you understood it to be, you may speak with Mr. Doug Irwin, Clerk for the Township, regarding a request to Council for a nwaiver of specific fees associated with the required Zoning By -law Amendment Application. Please note that: a) in making such a request, you may wish to also provide background material in support of your reason(s) for the request; and b) I have carbon copied Mr. Irwin on this message for your convenience with questions you may have in this regard. Further, please note that amendment to the zoning of the subject property would also require the support of the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority (NVCA), and you may wish to speak with NVCA staff regarding whether any additional information would be required for their review and commenting on a Zoning By -law Amendment Application, beyond the contents of the Environmental Impact Study prepared by Stantec. Finally, this is to further confirm that the Consent Applications noted above will continue to be held in abeyance pending further direction from you on how you wish to proceed.

The NVCA received the highest level of assurance available that the 2012 financial statements are complete and accurate, reflecting revenue of $4,415,085 and expenses of $3,995,261. Revenue was slightly higher than anticipated in 2012 due largely to a donation of land valued at approximately $475,000. A copy of the statements will be sent to the Minister of Natural Resources and Conservation Ontario and will be placed on the NVCA website. BEETON CREEK LEASE RENEWAL AND DEPUTATION REVIEWED Procyon Wildlife gave a deputation regarding their lease of NVCA -owned property at Beeton Creek for a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre. The Board voted to defer a motion to renew the lease for the 2014 term until June, in order to allow staff to meet with Procyon Wildlife representatives to review the terms of the lease and discuss strategies for carrying out repairs. BARTRAM WOODLANDS TO PROVIDE EXTRA TREE PLANTING SERVICES NVCA's contract with Bartram Woodlands for tree planting and spraying services has been expanded for the 2013 spring tree planting season. The additional planting and spraying support is required due to staffing changes at the NVCA that will not be completed prior to the key spring planting period. FLOOD AND EROSION CONTROL PROPOSALS HEADED TO THE PROVINCE The Board gave formal support to proposed projects to repair riverbank erosion at the Pretty River Dyke and replace stop logs at the Utopia Dam. This support allows the Ministry of Natural Resources to consider the proposals for funding through their Water and Erosion Control Infrastructure (WECI) program, which provides 50% funding support for major maintenance projects and studies important to the viability of flood and erosion control structures. NVCA TO UPDATE TECHNICAL GUIDE FOR DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS The Board gave their support for NVCA staff to update the technical guide. This document provides engineering and ecological consultants with clear guidance on submissions in order to streamline the development application review process. The guide will also bring existing NVCA documents up to date with current practices and ensure alignment with adjacent Conservation Authorities and municipal practices. Once the document has been drafted, consultations will be undertaken with member municipalities and affected sectors before seeking final endorsement from the NVCA Board of Directors.

STRATEGIC PLAN DEVELOPMENT CONTINUES WITH KEY STAKEHOLDER INPUT The draft NVCA Strategic Plan is currently being reviewed by key stakeholder groups including the development and agricultural communities. A revised draft plan will be prepared and posted publicly in mid -May for comments prior to the final plan being presented to the Board at their June 21 meeting. MOU FOR SOURCE WATER PROTECTION APPROVED The NVCA is involved in the provincial Source Water Protection Planning Initiative under the Ontario Clean Water Act, working with neighbouring Conservation Authorities towards the development and implementation of the Source Protection Program. The proposed Source Protection Plan was submitted to the Ministry of the Environment in October of 2012, and it is anticipated that it will be reviewed /approved later this year. In the meantime, a small committee has been working on implementation guidelines to aid municipalities once the plan comes into effect. A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) has been developed to outline the specific work to be completed by the NVCA for the lead Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority in providing Source Protection, technical and administrative support from January 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014. The Board supported the MOU and it will now be signed on behalf of the NVCA by the Chair and the CAO /Secretary- Treasurer.

Lake Simcoe Regions conservation authority TO: Board of Directors Staff Report No. 28- 13 -BOD Page No. 1 of 5 Agenda Item No. 9 BOD -04 -13 FROM: Jocelyn Lee General Manager, Corporate & Financial Services DATE: April 8, 2013 SUBJECT: 2013 Proposed Budget RECOMMENDATION: THAT Staff Report No. 28- 13 -BOD regarding LSRCA's 2013 Proposed Budget be received; and FURTHER THAT the 2013 budget estimates, with projected revenues in the amount of $13,629,313, as presented in the 2013 budget book be approved; and FURTHER THAT the net reserve appropriations in the amount of $430,388 as outlined in the 2013 budget book be approved; and FURTHER THAT copies of the approved budget be circulated to the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority watershed member municipalities; and FURTHER THAT each watershed member municipality be formally advised of their respective share of the general levy and special capital levy. Purpose of this Staff Report: The purpose of this Staff Report No. 28- 13 -BOD is to provide the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) Board of Directors with the 2013 Proposed Budget book which contains the 2013 proposed budget estimates for their review and approval. Background: On June 22, 2012 the Board of Directors reviewed and approved a Staff Report regarding the proposed 2013 budget development process, and assumptions. The budget assumptions included a proposed 4.6% increase to the 2012 base general levy with current value assessment (CVA) adjustments to be made in the fall when the assessments values are received from the Page 127 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C... Staff Report No. 28- 13 -BOD Page No. 2 of 5 Agenda Item No. 9 BOD -04 -13 Ministry of Natural Resources based on the Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) determined values. The Board approved the changes in budget assumptions as recommended. Throughout the budget process, over several months, LSRCA's Executive Management Team and budget holders, met on a number of occasions to review and develop the 2013 proposed budget. LSRCA staff attended budget meetings with several municipal partners' financial staff, and maintained ongoing dialogue with municipal staff as the budget was developed. LSRCA staff provided 2013 budget presentations to various municipal councils and committees, addressing any questions raised. The document, entitled "2013 Proposed Budget" reflects municipal and provincial funding projections, proposed transfers to and from reserve, inclusion of deferred revenue and updated Conservation Authority generated revenue. Qualitative information regarding LSRCA programs and services is provided to support the quantitative budget schedules. The 2012 actuals have been finalized as part of the financial year end process and as such the 2013 proposed budget incorporates the 2012 year -end deferred revenues expected to be recognized as revenue in 2013. It is also useful to note that the projected funding reflects the amounts actually approved by the councils of partner municipalities. Issues: Although detailed information is provided in the 2013 proposed budget book, some highlights regarding the 2013 proposed budget are as follows: 1. Federal Funding for Lake Simcoe The 2012 budget year included $572,106 of Federal funding for the Lake Simcoe Clean -Up Fund (LSCUF) which ended March 31, 2012. On March 29, 2012 the Federal Government announced the program would be restarted. The new funding of $29 million is for an extended area and is called the Lake Simcoe /South- eastern Georgian Bay Clean -up Fund ( LSGBCUF). The first round of project requests for LSGBCUF was submitted in January 2013. New funding for the projects that are approved is not expected until late fall of 2013, or possibly early 2014. As such, with no specific projects approved, the 2013 budget does not include any Federal funding from this program, as compared to the $572,106 included in the 2012 budget. 2. Donation Revenue There is donation revenue from the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation included in the 2013 budget. The Foundation Board has approved donation funding in the amount of $230,000. Page 128 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C... Staff Report No. 28- 13 -BOD Page No. 3 of 5 Agenda Item No. 9 BOD -04 -13 Other donation revenues included in the budget consists of $36,114 for the forgivable loan interest portion from York Region and $187,584 for the principal portion of the forgivable loan. 3. Fees for Service Revenue Minor annual increases were applied to Education program fees. Planning and Regulations fees remained the same. 4. Administration Building The fully forgivable ten year loan issued by the Region of York in the amount of $1,770,059 representing their respective financial commitment towards the administrative building addition is in its seventh year in 2013. The opening balance of this loan in 2013 is $802,522. The expectation is that the annual principal and interest on this loan is forgiven annually each April. As such, related to this loan, the 2013 budget provides for interest expense and offsetting donation revenue in the amount of $36,114, and reflects donation revenue in the amount of $187,584 for the principal portion of the loan which will result in an accounting "surplus" in the amount of $187,584. 5. Reserves and Deferred Revenue For purposes of developing the 2013 proposed budget, the draft Audited 2012 year end reserves, as proposed, and deferred revenue balances, have been reviewed and have been incorporated into the 2013 proposed budget where required. A summary of proposed reserve fund transfers and projected balances is provided in the Financial Reports section of the 2013 budget book. 6. Board Budget Approval Voting Procedures The following procedures will occur when considering the 2013 Proposed Budget at the April 26, 2013 LSRCA Board of Directors meeting: a) An overview of the 2013 Budget will be presented. b) A roll call of the members present will be completed by the CAO. c) The budget vote will be recorded and each Member will be requested to vote yea or nay to the attached budget, done in alphabetical order. Further, the vote will be weighted based upon the current value assessment (CVA) of each municipality within the watershed. The Region of York's vote is required to be capped at 50 %. The recorded vote will be taken as follows: Page 129 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C... In order to pass the budget, 51% of the votes determined by CVA are required. Based on the results of the recorded vote, the member municipalities will be advised of the outcome of the budget decision and levied accordingly subject to a 30 -day appeal period. Relevance to Authority Policy: The Authority works in partnership with its watershed municipalities to fulfill the objective of protecting and restoring Lake Simcoe and its watershed. The Board of Directors, comprised of representatives of the member municipalities, approves the budget estimates. Impact on Authority Finances: The 2013 Proposed Budget totals $13,629,313 million in revenue as compared to the 2012 approved budget of $13,991,721 million. The major factors that influence the $362,408.00 decrease on a net basis in budgeted revenue a re; • the decrease in federal funding of $572,106 for programs and projects related to Lake Simcoe Clean -up Fund, • the economic increase in general levy of 4.6 %, • the additional 3% increase on standard special capital programs, • the additional funding received for the new Database Analyst position.

the Conservation Authority's jurisdiction covered the East Holland River watershed and the eastern side of the Holland River into Cook's Bay on Lake Simcoe. With the addition of the West Holland River watershed in 1960, the Conservation Authority became the Holland Valley Conservation Authority. In 1970, the municipalities of Scott and Georgina joined the Conservation Authority and with this change a new name emerged —South Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority. Innisfil joined the Conservation Authority in 1974 and an additional expansion to include northern Durham Region occurred in 1978. To better reflect the area it served, the Conservation Authority's name changed to the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority ( LSRCA) on July 9, 1986. The remaining northern portion of Brock Township from Beaverton to the Talbot River came under Conservation Authority jurisdiction in 2000. In 2001, the Townships of Oro - Medonte and Ramara joined the Conservation Authority partnership. A unanimous vote in May 2003 expanded the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority's jurisdiction to include the northern portion of the City of Barrie. Conservation authorities, created in 1946 by an act of the Provincial legislature, are mandated to ensure the conservation, restoration LSRCA Mission Statement and responsible management of Ontario's water, land and natural habitats through programs that balance human, environmental and economic needs. The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority provides programs and services within four areas of focus: • Science and Research • Protection and Restoration • Education and Engagement • Leadership and Support. LSRCA has been recognized by several countries in relation to its delivery of integrated watershed management, including China, Australia, Thailand, Suriname and Russia. In 2009, the Authority was honoured with the Thiess International Riverprize Award for excellence in watershed management. LSRCA continues with the core principles that Conservation Authorities follow to achieve their mandate; watershed jurisdiction, local decision - making and funding partnerships. To provide leadership in the protection and restoration of the environmental health and quality of Lake Simcoe and its watershed with our community, municipal and other government partners. N (Q (D W U1 O N N The State of the Lake Simcoe Watershed Now in our seventh decade, LSRCA's commitment to excellence in watershed management, achieved through municipal, community and government partnerships, has realized significant environmental, social and economic benefits in the watershed, but there are many hurdles ahead. An Environmental Scan, completed in 2010 by our collective organization Conservation Ontario, points to a new era of business challenges in watershed management. Collectively, watershed managers around the world and across the province are facing the difficult challenges of: Economic uncertainty at all levels of government; Population growth with an aging demographic; Climate change and what it means locally, regionally and provincially; and, Communications and engagement in the age of social media. Added to these global and provincial challenges are the unique concerns within the Lake Simcoe watershed itself: improving the health and quality of the lake; loss of habitat and biodiversity; introduction of invasive species; pervasive aquatic plant growth; water quantity and water quality stresses; and, sustainable growth and a changing cultural demographic. LSRCA's strategic plan, Focused Future 2014, positions the authority to respond to the challenges and opportunities of the future. The plan is built upon LSRCA's four pillars of Integrated Watershed Management — Science and Research, Protection and Restoration, Education and Engagement, and Leadership and Support. The principles of Integrated Watershed Management allow us and our partners to concurrently tackle competing environmental, social and economic interests and make sound plans for a sustainable, healthy future. Over its four year timeframe, the goals, strategies and targets set out in Focused Future 2014, will drive LSRCA's work. Embedded in the plan is regard to programs at the municipal, provincial and federal levels— both new and existing —that are creating opportunities to strengthen and enhance our work. Strategically, the following business drivers are influencing how we advance our efforts. Lake Simcoe Protection Plan Increased lake phosphorus levels, low oxygen levels and the decline of coldwater fish species led the provinceto establish The Lake Simcoe Protection Act (2008) and Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (2009). The Lake Simcoe Protection Plan (LSPP) identifies an annual lake phosphorus loading target of 44 tonnes and a sustained dissolved oxygen target of 7 mg /I, along with many other critical environmental objectives. LSRCA has an identified role and responsibilities within the LSPP in areas such as subwatershed planning, water budgeting, stewardship, hazard land mapping and monitoring. Additionally, LSRCA staff members serve on the Minister's Lake Simcoe Coordinating and Lake Simcoe Science Committees. N (D W W O N N This is an important provincial partnership and it's vital that LSRCA's long term, operational role in the delivery of provincial Lake Simcoe Protection Plan initiatives be established and that enhanced partnership funding be obtained. Funding LSRCA is a charitable organization with objects that are established through the Conservation Authorities Act. The organization is funded largely through a combination of municipal, provincial and federal levies and grants. The remaining revenue is generated through an assortment of fees for services that include education, permitting and planning. Donations are received for specific programs through LSRCA's Foundation — Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation (LSCF). The economic climate will put pressure on all levels of government to limit increases to the various taxes and to carefully consider and prioritize their funding ofvarious programs and services. At the same time, there is an expectation of continued, and in many cases increased, level of service particularly in light ofthe attention on Lake Simcoe from all levels of government and the public. The situation will necessitate a focus on collaborative partnerships, particularly at the local municipal level, as well as with the province, the federal government and stakeholders. Lake Simcoe South Georgian Bay Clean Up Fund The federal government's Action Plan for Clean Water, announced in the March 2007 budget, provided a Lake Simcoe Clean -Up Fund (LSCUF) of $12 million over two years to support the clean -up of Lake Simcoe. In February 2008, the figure was increased to $30 million and the term was extended through to March 2012. LSCUF was successful in accelerating the adoption of best management practices (BMPs) in the watershed, reducing phosphorous loads from urban and rural sources, and improving information and monitoring for decision making. The Government of Canada announced in the 2012 Budget $29 million in funding to establish a renewed and expanded 2012 -2017 Lake Simcoe /South- eastern Georgian Bay Clean -up Fund ( LSGBCUF). Through the LSCUF program, LSRCA completed 66 restoration projects and received almost $6 million in funding from federal partners. LSRCA was able to leverage those funds through its many partnerships and as a result, the actual project costs undertaken equaled more than $12 million. These projects have improved water quality for recreational use, substantially reduced phosphorous loads from urban and rural sources, and advanced the restoration of a sustainable cold -water fishery and the ecological integrity of Lake Simcoe. The Lake Simcoe /South- eastern Georgian Bay Clean -Up Fund will support community -based projects that are focused on priorities such as reducing phosphorous inputs from urban and rural sources, restoring fish and aquatic wildlife habitat and populations, and addressing nearshore toxic and nuisance algae growth. Through the federal government's LSGBCUF funding, the Conservation Authority 3 will continue to build on the momentum that has been established over the last number of years within the environmental monitoring and stewardship programs. Memorandum of Understanding & Fees for Service The Authority operates under the principle that "growth must pay for growth ". Fees for service for Section 28 regulations, as well as excellent client service, are important Business Drivers. The Authority has memorandums of understanding (MOU's) with member municipalities to deliver comments on Natural Heritage. Conservation Authorities Liaison Committee (CALC) The Authority has supported the principles ofthe Provincial Conservation Authorities Liaison Committee and has virtually met all deadlines on applications. Customer Service will continue as a primary business driver. !v m 4 N Q n O (D fn O Q (D n (D Q W (D Q Sv v N O W O 3 v (D O O Q X N (D W W O N N Member Municipalities and Board of Directors To protect and restore the watershed, the municipalities within the involved in hearings stemming from planning and regulatory LSRCA's jurisdiction appoint members to serve on the Conservation activities under the Conservation Authorities Act. Authority's Board of Directors. The Board provides governance for the Conservation Authority and its programs. The Board is also rd Membership York Region (Town of Georgina), Mayor Rob Grassi, Town of New Tecumseth, Councillor Bruce Haire I Chair Durham Region (Township of Brock), Regional Councillor /Deputy Mayor Debbie Bath, Vice -Chair York Region (East Gwillimbury) Mayor Virginia Hackson, Durham Region (Scugog) Regional Councillor Bobbie Drew Township of Oro - Medonte, Councillor Dwight Evans City of Barrie, (Citizen Representative) Mr. Eric Bull City of Kawartha Lakes, Councillor Stephen Strangway York Region (Whitchurch- Stouffville), Councillor Ken Ferdinands York Region (Georgina), Councillor Phil Craig Durham Region (Uxbridge), Regional Councillor Jack Ballinger Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, Councillor Del Crake York Region (Aurora), Mayor Geoffrey Dawe City of Barrie, Councillor Barry Ward Township of Ramara, Councillor John O'Donnell York Region (King), Councillor Avia Eek City of Orillia (Ex- Officio), Mayor Angelo Orsi York Region (Newmarket), Councillor Dave Kerwin Town of Innisfil, Councillor Maria Baier N (D W O N N funded programs (such as Source Water Protection) continue to be Budget Assumptions adjusted to program funding and service level requirements. On June 22, 2012, the Board of Directors reviewed and approved a Staff Report regarding the proposed 2013 budget development process, assumptions and schedule. The initial budget assumptions reflected a 4.6% increase over the 2012 base general levy. The Municipal special capital funding increased by approximately 2.9 %. Individual programs were adjusted up or down depending on the deliverables required for the 2013 year. Lastly, the Board of Directors approved anticipated donation revenues of $230,000 from the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation. The Board of Directors approved the recommendations in the Staff Report. Staffing The 2013 budget contains one new Full -Time Equivalent (FTE) position for a Database Analyst. The approved staffing complement includes 2 FTE Enforcement Officers, of which only one of the two positions was filled over the past 2 years. In 2013, both Enforcement Officer positions will be staffed. The planning department includes two new positions, an Environmental Officer, and a Development Planner. The positions are in response to the increased service level requirements for permitting to support the watershed growth. Annualization costs are incorporated within the staffing plan. Staffing positions (FTE's) associated with time specific N O (D A O O N N O Overview of Revenue General Levy The 2013 budget includes a base increase amount of $205,406 or 7.3% increase to respective 2012 municipal contributions and CVA adjustments. The increase includes the amount required to fund the new FTE Database Analyst position, plus the annual adjustment to cover COLA and step adjustments. The base increased funding in 2013 as compared to 2012, excluding the new Database Analyst position, is $127,544 and provides for a 3% COLA increase, plus step adjustments, along with increases in OMERS and medical benefits. The staffing complement was increased in the GIS /IT department to add a Database Analyst Position. The cost of this enhancement to resources was $77,862 (salary and benefits). The total general levy increase is $205,406, or 7.3 %. Special Capital Levy and Municipal Partners Contributions are used to fund special capital programs within the watershed including the Basin -Wide Initiatives, the Landowners Environmental Assistance Program (LEAP), and scientific monitoring and predictive modeling programs. The funding level in 2013 as compared to 2012 as outlined on page 23 shows an increase in the total program funding in the amount of $106,523. The change in funding requirement is due to changes in particular program requirements, (Natural Hazards, Land Owner Environmental Program (LEAP), Program Information Management, Conservation Areas, and Flood Forecasting), as well as COLA and Step Adjustments applicable to each program. It is useful to note that in 2012 LSRCA was achieving significant leveraging of municipal contributions in programs such as Basin - Wide Initiatives and LEAP. In some cases for every $1 of municipal funding received there is an additional investment of approximately $4 from other funding sources, primarily from the federal and provincial governments. The 2013 budget continues with the plan to leverage funding with multiple funding partners. Provincial and Federal Funding Provincial agencies, namely the Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Natural Resources, contribute funding to such initiatives as Drinking Water Source Protection, ground water assessment studies, and dam review and repairs. The Conservation Authority also receives annual funding from the Ministry of Natural Resources as program transfer payments towards the flood warning and flood - and- erosion control programs and legal fees related to the regulation and enforcement requirement mandated by the Conservation Authorities Act. With regard to this program the funding level has remained the same for the last five years. The Conservation Authority is also anticipating projects and related federal funding in 2013, for the Lake Simcoe /South- eastern Georgian Bay Clean -up Fund (LSGBCUF). Revenue Generated by Authority Revenue generated by the Authority includes fees charged for education programs, plan review and permit fees, property rental, lease revenues, fees for service and donation revenue from the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation. Other Revenue Other Revenue includes funding received from partnerships for tree planting and the LEAP program. Interest income is also included as Other Revenue, along with funding for purchases such as land acquisitions and miscellaneous other revenues. N (D A O N N N (Q CD A N O N N Programs and Services Science & Research Basin -Wide Initiatives Basin -wide initiatives involve developing policies, programs, best management practices, and undertaking studies and producing strategies. These initiatives can be implemented within the entire watershed and provide a benefit to all member municipalities. The following programs are planned for implementation over the next five years. Research and Development of Best Management Practices The Authority continues to research and develop new and innovative best management practices to improve water quality, reduce phosphorus loadings to Lake Simcoe and improve ecosystem health. Some of the technologies which are continuing to be explored involve treating stormwater and agricultural runoff and reducing phosphorus contributions from atmospheric sources. The program is delivered in partnership with a number of universities and colleges, the private sector, all levels of government, and stakeholder groups. In 2012, the Authority was successful in obtaining $600,000 in provincial funding from the Showcasing Water Innovation Program to undertake the development of a Water Quality Trading Program to Reduce Phosphorus in the Lake Simcoe Watershed. Water quality trading (WQT) is a market -based approach to pollution control that treats pollutants as commodities. In a WQT system, a limit is put on the amount of a pollutant that can be discharged within a given time and defined area (such as a watershed). Dischargers within the watershed that reduce their pollutant loadings below the limit can sell surplus reductions (called credits) to other dischargers who need to make reductions to meet compliance requirements but face significantly higher costs to achieve those reductions. The credits take on a monetary value, and it is the buying and selling of credits among dischargers that is the essence of WQT. WQT is based on the fact that different sources in a watershed can have different costs to control the same pollutant. For example, a sewage treatment plant (STP) that needs to expand to accommodate new growth will likely incur much higher costs than an agricultural operation implementing conservation practices. In this case, if the agricultural operation significantly lowers its phosphorus loading, then the STP could buy the surplus reductions in order to meet its own discharge limits. In a WQT system, it doesn't matter which discharger reduces loadings, so long as the overall amount of the pollutant decreases. The study which has a total cost of $1.2 million will be completed in early 2013 and will allow the Authority and its member municipalities, along with the province, to accelerate phosphorus reduction efforts with the Lake Simcoe basin. 9 N (Q (D A W O N N Q0 Water Sensitive Urban Design Strategy New technologies to minimize the impact of development on the environment continue to be a priority of the LSRCA. In 2012, LSRCA partnered with the Credit Valley and Toronto Region Conservation Authorities to host a Low Impact Development (LID) conference and bus tour of sites within the watershed. Participants learned about LID techniques and had an opportunity to tour a number of LID sites firsthand. With continued support from member municipalities a two day workshop on LID controls was held in late March in partnership with Toronto Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The Authority will be officially launching the RainScaping Program in 2013 with three distinct focuses. The first is the promotion of sustainable water management practices for new communities. This is being achieved by partnering with Enbridge "Savings by Design ", Sustainable Building Canada, our municipal partners and the building industry to incorporate green infrastructure during the design and planning of new developments to minimize and mitigate any harmful impacts. The second area of focus is to address existing Stormwater problems in older urban areas, with our municipal partners, by identifying opportunities and implementing LID retrofits and innovative Stormwater best management practices. The third focus involves working with private industry, corporations and landowners, to address Stormwater problems on their properties through the use of LID retrofits. The program is in response to the Authority's commitment to address water quality and quantity issues within the watershed and improve the health and quality of Lake Simcoe and its tributaries and build resilience to climate change. Comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Planning Pollutants entering Lake Simcoe are either washed off the ground during storm or snowmelt runoff events or by being eroded and blown into the air as dust to be deposited directly into the water or onto surfaces which will later run off. Current methods to control urban stormwater runoff largely employ ponds and wetlands to intercept runoff and provide some water quality treatment through sediment deposition and nutrient cycling. The provincial Lake Simcoe Protection Plan requires that watershed municipalities, in cooperation with LSRCA, prepare and implement comprehensive Stormwater Management Master Plans for all settlement areas by June of 2014. LSRCA led the development of guidelines for this work in collaboration with its partners, the province and private industry and continues to assist local municipalities in completing these Master Plans. The guidelines are available online at www.LSRCA.on.ca. Drinking Water Source Protection The Clean Water Act is intended to manage water 'at the source', and prevent overuse and contamination of municipal drinking water supplies. Scientific studies have been completed to identify vulnerable areas and risks to drinking water, and are summarized in the recently completed Assessment Reports. The Source Protection Plan (SPP) that identifies policies and strategies to reduce existing risks to water supplies and prevent new risks from occurring has 10 N (D A A O N N tD been submitted tot he Province for approval. During 2013 LSRCA will be assisting the Province with the SPP approval process and supporting municipalities in "readiness" to deliver policies within the plan upon its approval. Natural Hazard Mapping Ontario's Regulation 179/06 directs development away from lands prone to natural hazards such as wetlands, steep slopes, lake wave up -rush, meander belts, floodplain, erosion hazard areas, watercourses and apparent valleys. The Conservation Authority uses hazard mapping in its critical role of reviewing development applications. The intent is to manage development and growth in the most sustainable manner. This role has become more important, given the transfer of some planning responsibilities from the provincial government to municipal governments. The hazard mapping needs to be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Mapping work also remains to be done in providing additional detail for emergency services in support of municipal emergency preparedness and response. Emergency Management Services Mapping Building on the Natural Hazard Mapping and other scientific models, this program develops a database ofvulnerable features (e.g. buildings, roadways and railroads) in order to produce more accurate and definitive information on structures which would be impacted by a specific flood. This information is provided to municipal emergency services in order to provide assistance in emergency preparedness and response. LSRCA staff developed mapping within the Regional Municipality of York, which has made use ofthe EMS mapping in two different flood event training exercises in 2007 and 2008 and put it into action during real flood events in the winter and spring of 2008 and again in February 2009. LSRCA expanded the program in 2009 to include the Regional Municipality of Durham, and is reviewing plans with its other municipal partners to expand this support throughout the watershed. Subwatershed Planning Subwatershed plans look at all ofthe environmental, economic and social factors affecting the quality ofthe natural resources in specific subwatersheds. The initial analysis and understanding ofthe state ofthe subwatershed enable detailed policy recommendations for municipalities to consider in their planning decisions. Specific recommendations can be madeto protect significant natural resources, facilitate more informed planning decisions, and speed up the planning process. Subwatershed plans provide a framework for sustainable development, the implementation of remedial activities, and a focus for community action. Ultimately, these plans will save money for all stakeholders — since it is cheaper to protect resources from degradation, rather than to try to undo the damage. 11 N (Q (D A U1 O N N tD The Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (ORMCP) requires preparation of subwatershed plans for every stream originating in the Moraine, and the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan requires subwatershed evaluations be prepared for all priority subwatersheds. Preparing subwatershed plans Plans for have now been prepared for 10 of Lake Simcoe's 17 subwatersheds, these include: Beaver, Black, Maskinonge, East Holland, West Holland, Pefferlaw, Innisfil, Lovers, Hewitts and Barrie. In 2013 the primary focus will be on completing plans in Oro - Medonte, which includes the subwatersheds of Oro Creeks North, Oro Creeks South and Hawkstone Creeks. LSRCA will also continue its work on the Ramara Creeks subwatershed plans and expanding this effort to the Whites and Talbot Creeks. Implementing subwatershed plans In 2013 efforts will also turn to implementing the subwatershed plan recommendations. Implementation plans have been prepared for most subwatershed plans, and these will outline the necessary actions, the associated milestones and the completion dates. Provincial and Municipal partners have also been identified within the implementation plans. LSRCA will be acting in a coordinating role to progress recommendations that our partners are responsible for implementing. Watershed Monitoring LSRCA continues its monitoring activities: water quality testing, animal population surveys, groundwater and stream flow monitoring, and lake and river level monitoring. The information collected from these activities is used to track trends and predict future changes in the environment resulting from climate change. Sometimes the information indicates immediate problems such as contamination, and helps to locate the source of pollution. Results are also used to evaluate the success of environmental improvement projects. Water Response (Hydrology) LSRCA is a member of the Low Water Response (LWR) teams in the Regional Municipalities of York and Durham and the County of Simcoe. Low water response in Ontario is a partnership between the province and local authorities such as municipalities and conservation authorities. LWR teams are comprised of provincial, conservation authorities, municipal and private industry members. This program maintains and upgrades the water quantity gauging network and the environmental conditions reporting system. The Conservation Authority monitors watershed conditions and provides this information to LWR teams. LWR teams characterize the watershed, identify local water supply needs and concerns, identify the severity of low water situations /conditions, implement water conservation, preservation and restriction strategies, evaluate effectiveness of local actions, and provide advice to local and provincial decision - makers. In 2009, LSRCA began monitoring the Atherly Narrows. This monitoring has become part of the annual monitoring project and 12 N kD (D A O N N Q0 provides critical data to better calculate the balance of water flowing into and out of Lake Simcoe. This also improves measurement of associated nutrient loads and flood prediction. Groundwater and York, Peel, Durham, Toronto (YPDT) Groundwater monitoring involves the continued surveillance of 13 monitoring wells for both water levels and water quality. This produces crucial data on the location, flow and quantity of groundwater in the Lake Simcoe Watershed. Much ofthe monitoring and modelling is funded and carried out through the YPDT consortium, comprised ofthe Regions of York, Peel and Durham, the City of Toronto and nine conservation authorities with jurisdiction on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Other partners include provincial and federal agencies with a direct interest in groundwater — Geological Survey of Canada (GSC), Ontario Geological Survey (OGS), and the Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network (PGMN) through the Ministry ofthe Environment. The PGMN program is a key partner as it provides equipment and analytical support for the monitoring of groundwater quality and quantity at 13 sites across the watershed. By pooling funding and assets, the program allows for detailed research into the groundwater system of the Lake Simcoe basin to address ways to improve and protect these valuable functions. The YPDT groundwater model developed in early phases is now used across the area for a variety of initiatives including source water protection, municipal drinking water management and watershed planning. Open Lake and Nearshore Monitoring and research focused on the open lake and nearshore contribute to a more complete understanding of Lake Simcoe's ecosystem and allow the Authority to make recommendations that form the cornerstone of lake and basin management. This information fills some long- standing data gaps and improves the direction of management decisions and plan development. This program complements the water quality monitoring program undertaken by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment and fisheries monitoring conducted by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. Surface Water Water quality samples and measurements of the water's flow are taken on 15 rivers entering Lake Simcoe. The information is combined with biophysical monitoring data (see next section) to provide a more complete picture of the ecosystem's health. The information is also used to identify and trace sources of problems, and examine seasonal or short -term changes in surface water conditions such as drought. Biophysical LSRCA collects and analyzes information about fish and fish habitat, benthic insects, temperature, riparian condition, geomorphic and physical stream measurements, algae, and aquatic plants from the watershed streams. This provides detailed information about stream ecosystems which is critical for subwatershed planning. 13 N (D A v O N N Protection & Restoration Asset Management - Water Control Structures Water control structures manage water flow and reduce the risk of property damage that could result from flooding, erosion and bank instability. In addition, reservoirs provide recreational opportunities to local residents improve water quality and provide habitat for wildlife and fish. The Conservation Authority currently owns two water control structures: • Pefferlaw Dam in the Town of Georgina, and • Fairy Lake Dam in the Wesley Brooks Memorial Conservation Area in the Town of Newmarket Conservation Area Management Planning & Coordination LSRCA owns 21 Conservation Areas (1,425.9 ha.) and 10 natural heritage and other land holdings (65.3 ha.) for a total of 1,491.3 ha., (3,685 acres), of environmentally sensitive lands within the watershed including wetlands, upland forests and Lake Simcoe shoreline. The Conservation Authority is committed to maintaining them for their value in flood and erosion control and for their important environmental and natural heritage. The LSRCA also manages an additional 617 hectares (1,525 acres) of forested tracts and natural /cultural heritage lands. Management plans are critical to balance the needs of users with the need to protect the environment. Passive recreational opportunities on these lands include hiking, picnicking, cross - country skiing and birding. The demands of a growing population for greatervariety and more modern conveniences, as well as clean, safe and attractive sites, is placing a greater demand on the Conservation Authority and its resources. Properties owned by LSRCA: Permitting and Enforcement Ontario Regulation 179/06 of the Conservation Authorities Act directs development away from lands prone to water hazards. A permitting process protects residents and their property from these hazards and maintains wetlands, watercourses and shoreline habitats for future generations.

Permitting and Enforcement Ontario Regulation 179/06 of the Conservation Authorities Act directs development away from lands prone to water hazards. A permitting process protects residents and their property from these hazards and maintains wetlands, watercourses and shoreline habitats for future generations. I^ N kD (D A W O IV IV tD Environmental Planning LSRCA also provides planning advice to its member municipalities by commenting on applications circulated under the Planning Act to ensure that all relevant federal, provincial, regional and municipal legislative requirements are satisfied. LSRCA provided service for its municipal partners provides comments on official plans, secondary plans, zoning by -laws, plans of subdivisions and condominiums, consents, minor variances, and site plans. The purpose is to: • Protect people and property from natural hazards including flooding and erosion, • Protect and maintain natural heritage features and functions, • Maintain and improve the water quality in Lake Simcoe and its tributaries, • Maintain ground water quality and quantity Flood Forecasting & Warning Network The Province of Ontario has designated LSRCA as the lead agency for flood warning in the Lake Simcoe watershed. To minimize loss of life and property damage, LSRCA issues flood bulletins to the watershed municipalities, school boards, emergency services and media. Depending on the level of imminent risk three levels of bulletins are issued: • Watershed Conditions Statements (a general notice of weather conditions that could pose a risk to personal safety or have the potential to lead to flooding), • Flood Watches (rivers are likely to flood), • Flood warnings (flooding is imminent or actual). Flood forecasting and warning systems must be continually upgraded because of changing watershed conditions due to changes in land use such as urban development, infrastructure and climate change. Recently, flooding has been more intensive and frequent. There have been two local 1: 100 year storms — Barrie in 2005 and Newmarket in 2006. A series of events in the winter of 2009 resulted in the highest flows ever recorded by the Conservation Authority on gauges in the East Holland, Pefferlaw and Beaver Rivers. Forestry Service The LSCRA Forestry Service manages existing forest cover on the LSRCA's properties to maintain and promote forest health, and ensure safe public access. In addition, forestry staff work with municipal partners and landowners across the watershed to maintain and establish new forest cover that links existing forest, buffers watercourses, creates new wildlife habitat and contributes to water quality and quantity. This work is done in partnership with a variety of groups including local and regional municipalities, external funding agencies, and the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation. Community awareness of forestry and reforestation 15 N (D A O N N benefits is promoted through community events including workshops, tree planting events and outreach forestry services. Forestry Management Partnership - Durham LSRCA manages six forest tracts on behalf of the Regional Municipality of Durham, overseeing all management activities of the forest including public use, timber management and property maintenance. These forest tracts contribute significantly to the protection of the headwaters of both the Uxbridge Brook and Pefferlaw River. The Forest is maintained as a working forest, where ongoing management activities are implemented to convert plantation forests back into more natural stands. The use ofthe forests for public recreation, ranging from walking and nature appreciation, to mountain biking and organized cross - country races, is growing and becoming a major activity in the forest. Public consultation, through surveys and stakeholder meetings, provides strategic input for incorporation into management decisions for the forest. Through the involvement of a public stakeholder committee and Durham Region staff, LSRCA is enhancing the recreational activities and developing a safer, more ecologically sensitive trail network. To support this, a draft Trail Management Plan for the Durham Forest was prepared in 2010, and is currently being finalized for approval by the LSRCA Board of Directors and Durham region Council in 2013. LEAP - Landowner Environmental Assistance Program LEAP is a partnership between the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, its member municipalities, and the York, Durham and Simcoe chapters ofthe Ontario Federation of Agriculture. For over 20 years the program has provided technical and financial support to landowners across the entire watershed, to help them complete environmental projects that improve local surface and ground water quality, reduce soil erosion, and enhance wildlife habitat. In addition to its municipal partners, LSRCA staff also works with the federal and provincial governments, the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation, and other funding agencies to secure additional funding support for project implementation. Staff began a review ofthe LEAP program in 2012, refining and expanding the program categories to the ensure cost - effectiveness, scientific foundation, and relevance ofthe program to watershed landowners. Additional categories to address urban and agricultural land -uses were introduced in 2013. Completion ofthe review will occur in 2013 with the development of a communications strategy and enhanced project review process to prioritize restoration efforts and enhance performance measurement. The program has identified several subwatersheds around the watershed that are in need of special attention, and is currently implementing projects directed towards their improvement. They include: • Lover's, Hewitt's, and Barrie Creeks, • Holland Marsh, • Maskinonge River, 16 N (Q (D U1 O O N N tD • Oro and Ramara Creeks, • Scanlon Creek. The Creeks Project: Lover's, Hewitt's, and Barrie Creeks Subwatershed Following on the end of the very successful East Holland River Campaign and Project, which saw the completion of over 40 projects across the subwatershed in partnership with the LSCF, local municipalities, and other partners, LSRCA has initiated a new focused 4 -year project for Lover's, Hewitt's, and Barrie Creeks. Focusing on the implementation of restoration opportunities from the headwaters to Kempenfelt Bay, Stewardship staff will work in partnership with the LSCF, Town of Innisfil, City of Barrie, local landowners, and many other community partners to focus delivery in this rapidly developing area of the watershed. Incorporating information from the Subwatershed Management and Implementation Plans, Best Management Practices Opportunities Report, and other documents, the project will focus at a catchment level to implement traditional LEAP projects, as well as pilot and develop new initiatives such as low impact development approaches to managing stormwater at the site level, community demonstration projects, and education outreach. Ramara Creeks Restoration Plan Between 2008 and early 2010, Conservation Authority staff worked with local residents, stakeholder groups and the Township of Ramara, to produce a restoration plan for the subwatersheds across Ramara. This stewardship plan characterizes the area drained by the Ramara Creeks, identifying potential projects and suggests remedial work that will improve the water quality in these creeks and municipal drains that empty directly into Lake Simcoe. Two well - attended workshops provided local residents information on natural shoreline management, and LSRCA stewardship programs. Support for this project was provided through LEAP and LSCUF. Additional funds from the federal Lake Simcoe Clean -Up Fund were secured for implementing BMPs (Best Management Practices) throughout this subwatershed, which allowed the Conservation Authority to work with private landowners and other partners to complete more than 40 environmentally beneficial projects since 2009. These included a variety of items throughout the Township, ranging from on -farm projects to improve manure and milkhouse washwater management facilities, and reduce barn -yard runoff, to stabilizing and naturalizing shoreline areas. A number of septic systems were improved, and unused wells were decommissioned properly to protect local aquifers. In addition, several community planting projects were funded through this initiative. Additional partnership funding has been requested from the Lake Simcoe Southeast Georgian Bay Clean -Up Fund (LSGBCUF) to support the ongoing development and delivery of this work. Maskinonge River Recovery Project (MRRP) This community program addresses the issues identified in the Maskinonge River Remedial Strategy Final Report. The program targets sources of phosphorus and other contaminants within both rural and urban areas ofthe Maskinonge River Subwatershed. 17 In 2011 the MRRP, under the direction of its nine - member Public Committee, planted approximately 2,000 trees and shrubs in the subwatershed; most in shoreline riparian areas. Eleven major shoreline erosion control projects were completed which saw the removal of failing "hardened" shore - walls, and the replacement with natural rocks and shrubs, for a length of 275 metres of shoreline. Along with halting shoreline erosion and creating a naturalized vegetated buffer zone to reduce Phosphorus inputs, these works also created fish and wildlife habitat and removed more than 50 creosote - soaked railway ties and other toxic debris from the river. 158 square metres of wetland wildflower habitat seed mix was distributed to more than 40 waterfront properties. As well, 8 songbird boxes, 8 bat boxes and 4 wood duck boxes were installed. Five backyard snapping turtle nesting habitats were designed and installed and one road crossing sign erected by York Region. Along with the in- the - ground works, the MRRP was also responsible for raising awareness ofthe issues and solutions available in the Maskinonge River Subwatershed. This was accomplished through site inspections, presentations at various events and tours, as well N (Q (D U1 O N N as media coverage of the 3rd annual "Up the Maskinonge, With a Paddle" event. Partnership funding for delivery ofthe MRRP in 2013 was secured from the Towns of East Gwillimbury and Georgina, and additional funding has been requested from the Lake Simcoe Southeast Georgian Bay Clean -Up Fund (LSGBCUF) to support continued delivery until 2017. Natural Heritage System Land Securement Through purchase and environmental easements, LSRCA protects ecologically sensitive lands including valley and stream corridors, portions ofthe Lake Simcoe shoreline, wetlands, forests, flood control and reservoir lands, and properties on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Land securement maintains their natural functions of flood and erosion control, allows for ecological preservation, and provides parkland and open space. The Beaver River Land Securement Project continues to be a major focus ofthe strategy. 18 N (D U1 N O N N Education & Engagement Education Program Education and Engagement is one of LSRCA's four pillars of Integrated Watershed Management. Its goal is to generate support, commitment and action for a healthy watershed. Through school and community programs and through corporate communication initiatives, LSRCA strivesto raise awareness, impart knowledge, create understanding, and encourage caring. These are the foundations that inspire and support positive action. LSRCA delivers programming both on -site in conservation area education facilities and in classrooms and communities across the Lake Simcoe Watershed. Outdoor Education Program Experiential learning programs are featured at Scanlon Creek Conservation Area in Bradford West Gwillimbury where students and teachers, youth and adults, explore first hand their connections to the health ofthe Lake Simcoe watershed. Formal facilities and an extensive outdoor "classroom" present unique learning opportunities to develop knowledge and skills through science, arts, recreation and appreciation. Curriculum- connected school programming is the predominant service offered. Public programming, consistent with the revitalization objectives of the Scanlon Creek Conservation Master Plan, are steadily increasing through the work of the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation. The programming at Scanlon Creek transitioned in 2011 from a day and overnight operation to a day operation only as part of LSRCA's strategic redesign of its education and engagement portfolio. Experiential learning programs are featured each summer at Sheppard's Bush Conservation Area in Aurora through organized, weekly nature camps, called Conservation Kids. This program is integrated with the summer youth programming of the Town of Aurora. Outreach Education and Community Engagement Program Learning programs are featured in schools and communities across the Lake Simcoe watershed, where students and teachers, youth and adults, explore their connections to the health of the watershed where they live, learn, work and play.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority as at December 31, 2012 and the results of its operations, changes in net assets and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards. ��o �dl�ti�oly LC_/"G Chartered Accountants, Licensed Public Accountants April 26, 2013 Newmarket, Ontario BDO Canada LLP, a Canadian Limited liability partnership, is a member of BDO International Limited, a UK company limited by guarantee, and forms part of the international BDO network of independent member firms.

Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2012 1. _Nature of operations The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (the "Authority ") was established on September 6, 1951 by Order - in- Council No. OC- 1723 -51, in accordance with Section 3(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act of Ontario. The objects of the Authority as stated in Section 20(1) of the Conservation Authorities Act R.S.O. 1990 are, "to establish and undertake, in the area over which it has jurisdiction, a program designed to further the conservation, restoration, development and management of natural resources, other than gas, oil, coal and minerals ". 2. Summary of significant accounting policies Management responsibility The financial statements are prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for organizations operating in the local government sector as recommended by the Public Sector Accounting Board of The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants. Basis of accounting Revenue and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis, whereby they are reflected in the accounts in the year in which they have been earned and incurred, respectively, whether or not such transactions have been settled by the receipt or payment of money. Various revenue and expense items flow through the statement of financial activities based on their general nature in relation to operating activities. To the extent that these revenue and expense items relate to specific reserve balances, these items are reflected on Schedule 5 - Statement of Continuity of Reserves. Non- financial assets Non - financial assets are not available to discharge existing liabilities and are held for use in the provision of services. They have useful Lives extending beyond the current year and are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations. Tangible Capital Assets Tangible capital assets are recorded at cost which includes all amounts that are directly attributable to acquisition, construction, development or betterment of the asset. Tangible capital assets received as contributions are recorded at their fair value at the date of receipt and recognized as revenue. The costs, less residual value, of the tangible capital assets are amortized on a straight -line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows: Land Improvements 20 years Building and Building Improvements 20 to 40 years Furniture and Fixtures 20 to 25 years Machinery and Equipment 4 to 10 years Vehicles 5 to 10 years Computers and Computer Software 4 to 10 years Infrastructure 20 to 55 years Page 170 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C... Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2012 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) One -half of the annual amortization is charged in the year of acquisition and in the year of disposal. Assets under construction are not amortized until the asset is available for productive use. Leases Leases are classified as capital or operating leases. Leases which transfer substantially all of the benefits and risks incidental to ownership of property are accounted for as capital leases. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases and the related lease payments are charged to expenses as incurred. Cash and cash equivalents The Authority considers deposits in banks and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less as cash and cash equivalents. Vacation pay and lieu time liability Vacation credits earned but not taken and lieu time entitlements are accrued as earned. Reserves Reserves for future expenses and contingencies are established and approved for use as required at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Increases or decreases in these reserves are made by appropriations to or from operations. Government transfers Government transfers are recognized in the financial statements as revenue in the fiscal year the related expenses are incurred or services performed. Deferred revenue The Authority receives certain amounts principally from other public sector bodies, the proceeds of which may only be used in the conduct of certain programs or completion of specific work. Further, certain user charges and fees are collected but for which the related services have yet to be performed. These externally restricted amounts are recognized as revenue in the fiscal year the related expenses are incurred or services performed. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with Canadian public sector accounting standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. The principal estimates used in the preparation of these financial statements include the useful life and valuation of capital assets and significant accruals. Actual results could differ from management's best estimates as additional information becomes available in the future. Page 171 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C... Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31 2012 2. Summary of significant accounting policies (continued) Retirement benefits and other employee benefit plans The Authority is an employer member of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (OMERS), which is a multi- employer, defined benefit pension plan. The Board of Trustees, representing plan members and employers, is responsible for overseeing the management of the pension plan, including investment of assets and administration of the benefits. The Authority has adopted defined contribution plan accounting principles for this Plan because insufficient information is available to apply defined benefit plan accounting principles. The Authority records the current service cost as pension expense. 3. Budget figures The approved budget for 2012 is provided for comparison purposes on the statement of financial activities. Certain programs or specific projects budgeted for in the year were not completed as at December 31 and therefore a direct comparison of actual versus budget amounts for expenditures may not be appropriate. The 2012 budget was approved by the Board of Directors when the municipal levy was set on April 27, 2012. 4.

Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2012 7. Long term debt Pursuant to an Agreement effective April 18, 2006, the Regional Municipality of York ( "Region ") advanced the Authority a loan in the amount of $2,005,659 to partly fund the construction of the Authority's headquarters. The loan is unsecured and bears interest at the rate of 4.5 %. The loan was made up of a forgivable component and a repayable component. The repayable amount of $235,600 has been paid. The forgivable component of $1,770,059 is repayable over a 10 year period. Provided that all of the terms and conditions of the loan are satisfied, the Region shall annually forgive the principal instalment otherwise payable in that year as well as the interest. The forgiven amounts in 2012 were $179,507 for principal and $44,191 for interest. The remaining loan balance at December 31, 2012 is $802,522. Should the Authority be in default under the terms of the Agreement, any remaining outstanding balance of the Loan shall become due and payable immediately, together with interest from the date of default. 8. Financial instruments The fair values of cash, short term investments, accounts receivables, accounts payables and accrued liabilities, security deposits and vacation pay, lieu time and payroll liability approximate their carrying values because of their expected short term maturity and treatment on normal trade terms. 9. Pension agreement The Authority makes contributions to the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System ( "OMERS ") which is a multi- employer plan, on behalf of full -time members of staff and eligible part time staff. The plan is a defined benefit pension plan, which specifies the amount of the retirement benefit to be received by the employees based on the length of service and rates of pay. OMERS provide pension services to more than 428,947 active and retired members and approximately 968 employers. Each year an independent actuary determines the funding status of OMERS Primary Pension Plan (the Plan) by comparing the actuarial value of invested assets to the estimated present value of all pension benefits that members have earned to date. The most recent actuarial valuation of the Plan was conducted at December 31, 2012. The results of this valuation disclosed total actuarial liabilities of $69,122 million in respect of benefits accrued for service with actuarial assets at that date of $59,198 million indication an actuarial funding deficit of $9,924 million. Because OMERS is a multi - employer plan, any pension plan surpluses or deficits are a joint responsibility of Ontario municipal organizations and their employees. As a result, the authority does not recognize any share of the OMERS pension surplus or deficit. Contributions made by the Authority to OMERS for 2012 were $486,704 (2011 - $417,611). 10. Credit facility The Authority maintains an operating line facility with an operating limit of $500,000 which bears interest at prime plus .5% and is due on demand. As of December 31, 2012, no balance was payable under this facility. 11 Page 174 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C... Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Notes to the Financial Statements December 31, 2012 11. Contingent liabilities Certain unresolved legal claims are outstanding against the Authority at December 31, 2012. No amounts have been accrued in the financial statements for any potential losses arising from these claims as the Authority anticipates any individual settlements will not exceed the limits of insurance coverage or the outcomes are not determined at this time. 12. Related party transactions The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority exercises economic interest over the Lake Simcoe Conservation Foundation as the Foundation was established to raise funds and obtain resources for the exclusive use of the Authority. During the year, the Authority received $245,120 (2011 - $256,929) from the Foundation towards specific program deliverables. Additionally, the Authority received from the Foundation $204,116 (2011 - $192,783) for expense reimbursement of Foundation related expenses. 13. Comparative information Certain comparative amounts have been re- classified to conform to the financial statement presentation adopted in the current year. 12 Page 175 of 229 12d) Correspondence dated May 7, 2013 from Gayle Wood, C...

ANMPAssocial:ion of Municipalities Ontano POLICY UPDATE May 8, 2013 OPP Begins Municipal Consultations on Billing Reform and Other Updates An Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) driven consultation has begun via seven regional forums with 74 randomly selected OPP contracted and OPP non - contracted municipalities. The forums in Northwestern Ontario have been completed with sessions in Northeastern, Central, Eastern and Southwestern Ontario to occur shortly. At the completion of these regional sessions later in May, a report of what the OPP heard will be consolidated and then sent out to all 323 OPP- serviced municipalities for further comment and validation. The OPP consultation is about the reform of the method it uses to bill municipalities for its policing services. The OPP is seeking direct feedback on municipal views of the current billing method and to find out what is important to municipal governments in the development of future billing options. This municipal consultation will help to inform changes to the OPP billing method that will be presented to the provincial government for decision. Anticipated timing is that any change would be made this fall. There is a broad understanding that the current OPP billing system, which has developed over time, is not equitable among municipal governments. This billing reform initiative is specifically scoped on how to bill municipalities for OPP services going forward. It is not designed to explore or address the underlying OPP service cost drivers. However, there is recognition of the complex linkages between this billing initiative to the continuing municipal call for reduction of overall policing costs, the Ontario Municipal Partnership Fund (OMPF) and the work of the Future of Policing Advisory Committee (FPAC) that is looking at core and non -core functions and ways to impact costs. There is a wide variation and lack of transparency of OPP costs to the municipalities they serve. OPP costs can vary widely between municipalities within the same detachment or among municipalities with similar populations. Also, municipalities that are considered "hub" communities (e.g. serve as regional centres), experience higher policing costs than same -sized non -hub municipalities. This has been of great concern to those municipalities paying higher than average per household costs for their OPP services. The 2011 per household costs for OPP services can range from under a $100 to well over $600. Bringing greater transparency and clear communication of what is in OPP billing to municipalities, was in part addressed through the 2012 publication Understanding Municipal Po /icing Cost ( http: / /www.opp.ca /ecros /index.php ?id =13) developed by an AMO, OPP and Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services working group. Although it provided a detailed inventory as to all the cost variables that go into municipal OPP billing, it was not able to address the OPP deployment model, the calls for service /response standards or other factors that determine the municipal policing costs. 200 University Ave., Suite 801 Toronto ON M5H 3C6 Canada I Tel: 416.971.9856 1 Fax: 416.971.6191 1 Toll -Free in Ontario: 1.877.426.6527 1 anno @anno.on.ca Page 183 of 229 12e) Policy Update dated May 8, 2013 from Association of... In April, the OPP Municipal Policing Bureau established a Municipal Policing Working Group with municipal representatives. It has the following objectives: To provide a forum for the OPP to discuss and provide strategic advice on opportunities to enhance efficiency and effectiveness of OPP municipal police services. To provide an opportunity for stakeholders early input into its policy development process and ensure that proposed policy initiatives are relevant, timely and, ultimately, successful. To solicit diverse perspectives on municipal policing and new ideas to strengthen the efficiency and effectiveness of municipal police services. The Working Group is also composed of: OPP representatives, municipal representatives (Mayors and CAOs from contract and non - contract OPP- policed municipalities), AMO, Ontario Association of Police Services Board (OAPSB) staff and provincial government staff. Although the current focus of the OPP working group is on this billing initiative, other expected future issues to be discussed are civilian governance, future legislation and opportunities for more efficient and effective OPP municipal police services. This week, OPP Municipal Policing Bureau Commander, Superintendent Rick Philbin, sent a letter to all 323 OPP- serviced municipalities with respect to the 2014 projected salary increase of 8.SS %. The letter is attached. The salary increase is part of the collective agreement, started in January 2011 and to end in December 2014. The terms of the agreement called for an increase of S% in 2011, followed by a two year wage freeze and top up commitment for 2014. It should be understood that the only possible way to undo such collective agreement increases would be by provincial legislation which would draw legal and policy challenges. Additionally, on May 6th, OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis released a video statement on the complex issues surrounding the costs of municipal policing. The video link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEOdMsLRwJY. AMO will continue to update members on progress and any additional emerging issues related to municipal policing costs.

This was the fourth year the program has been offered in the Township of Oro - Medonte. The initiative was a successful partnership between Severn Sound Environmental Association, North Simcoe Stewardship, the Townships of Tay, Tiny, Oro - Medonte, Springwater and Severn, the Towns of Midland and Penetanguishene, and the City of Orillia. The goal of the program was to promote tree planting by offering reasonably - priced, native tree seedlings to residents of the eight municipalities. The program was quite successful; response to the project was good, and we distributed 10,000 native trees and shrubs of nine species in total. Many of the participants expressed their appreciation that the program was offered this year, and indicated they would like to participate in future years. Darcy Brooke - Bisschop and Samah Othman provided valuable assistance with promoting and organizing this year's project, and Councillors Crawford and Meyer were most helpful on tree sorting /packaging day. The support and assistance of Mayor Hughes on distribution day was also very much appreciated, as was the help of the two student volunteers he brought along. We will be preparing a final report on the project shortly, and we will send a copy to each of the participating municipalities when it is complete. Thank you again for your municipality's participation in the 2013 Tree Seedling Distribution Program. Sincerely, �.

Dear Sir/Madame 7. Re: Plan 993, Oro - Medonte Twp. (Formerly Orillia Twp -South Division Woodland Dr. 8. As owners of property on Woodland Dr. it has come to our attention that development of 9 certain right of way lots on our street is to take place. According to plan 993, these lots are for the use of property owners. We understand, the rights of way have been sold and the new owner intends to build on them. No one on the street received notification of this and we have concerns as follows. 1) The lots are only 30 feet (IOM) wide which allow for a very small construction or tall and narrow; not very appealing considering the types of existing home and the investments in them. We heard that only a one meter set back is required for these particular lots, whereas our lots need a 2Meter setback; we cannot understand the setback difference. 2) Another issue is tree removal. Apparently any tree(s) can be cut down right to the shoreline which would greatly impact water run off to Simcoe and result in more erosion on the shore which the Conservation Authority is trying to save. Any of us on Woodland Drive that have done work on the waterfront have had very strict guidelines as to what we could /could not do. Why do these 30 foot (10 MO lots have a different set of rules! (Is the Lake Simcoe Conservation Authority aware of these changes and the Department of Oceans & Fisheries ?). We have enough flooding/water issues in these areas: 3) Some of these lots (rights of way) have culverts directing water runoff from the fields across from them into Lake Simcoe thereby avoiding flooding Woodland Drive and property lots. Building on these lots would necessitate an alternate solution to the flooding. 4) We have concerns about the infrastructure capabilities: roads, hydro, sewage, wells. The lots in question were not originally planned as residential. 5) Are other building lots on Lake Simcoe and in Oro - Medonte going to be allowed to build on 30 foot (10 M) lots? Can we turn our 90 foot lots into 3 x 30 foot ones? 6) We understand that ownership of these lots (rights of way) can change but we are confused on why and how the useage of them was changed (if in fact it has changed ?). We would appreciate hearing back from you with regards to the above concerns. L.

These small narrow lots extend to the Lake Simcoe shoreline, and adjacent to homes on significantly larger lots, in an established neighbourhood. We, like our neighbours, work hard to demonstrate the regulatory compliance and environmental stewardship espoused by the Township, Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) and Ministry of the Environment (MOE). When these lots on Woodland Drive were purchased last year, we understood that current bylaw restrictions and zoning prohibited building development because the lots are less than 100ft. Based upon the submission of a proposal for development, along with recent surveying, tree removal study and geo testing activities and the news that these lots have been zoned Shoreline Residential 2 (SR 2), it seems that we were misinformed about the zoning designation of these lots. Current zoning bylaw documentation (2010) does not seem to indicate what types of development are permitted for such as zoning designation but we understand the Residential 2 zoning permits the development of apartments and / or townhouses. We respectfully submit that any development on these small lots will: 1. Increase the residential intensity of Woodland Drive with crowding of building structures, increased infrastructure needs and increased demand for operational maintenance from the Township and Hydra 2. Permanently destroy environmentally sensitive lands surrounding Lake Simcoe. 3. Pollute Lake Simcoe through increased stormwater runoff (and phosphorus loading) due to the increase in paved driveways and destruction of existing trees to make room for new dwellings. 4. Devalue the existing homes on Woodland Drive. 5. Significantly erode the soil by clearing the existing trees that cover each of these lots. 6.

Re: 30ft lots on Woodland Drive 7. We are writing to voice our concern regarding the possible development of the 30ft lots in our neighbourhood$' It was our understanding when these lots on Woodland Drive were purchased last year, that they could not beg. built on since they were less than 100ft. However, there has been much activity on these lots as of late (surveying, investigating the removal of trees and geo testing) which would indicate that perhaps we were misinformed. Developing these lots is a concern for the following reasons: 1. More homes would tax the already taxed water supply. Since there is no municipal water system in place, we all rely on wells. As you know, our neighbouring community (Maplewood Pkwy) which draws on the same underwater system is often under a water advisory. Some of our immediate neighbours have to severely limit their water use due to the inadequate water supply. 2. Drainage is already an issue here on Woodland. At least 3 of these lots have water courses running through them providing a drainage path for the water. 3. This is a rural community that values the environment and its natural beauty. Homes built on 30 foot lots are not in keeping with this rural setting but rather a concept used in urban development. 4. It was our understanding that building lots had to be a minimum of 100ft according to present day bylaws and building codes. However, we're hearing that these bylaws don't apply to these lots (ie. A home CAN be built on the 30 ft lot AND the set back from the property line is only 1 meter instead of 2 meters). We hope this in inaccurate information since current bylaws are set up to address CURRENT issues and environmental needs as well as to maintain a more consistent level of development. 5. Removing trees would facilitate erosion and only increase water runoff into Lake Simcoe. Lake Simcoe is already in jeopardy as we saw with the amount of unprecedented algae bloom in the water in the spring of 2012. As current home owners in the area, removing trees on our own property contravenes current bylaws. We chose this neighbourhood because of the trees and the feeling it provides. Oro Medonte's Economic Development plan and Master Plan states that your goals are to: • "Protect lakes and underground water" • "Keep the environment the top priority in all development plans" • "Minimize development" • "Maintain the treed landscape" We trust that our concerns will be carefully considered and that Oro Medonte's goals, along with current bylaws and waterfront development guidelines, will guide your decision making when considering applications for development on these, or any such lots. Please keep us informed. Rick and Kim McMaster 1177 Woodland Dr. Orillia Ontario L3V 6H1 Page 190 of 229 13a) Correspondence received re: Proposed Development of 1.

Irwin, Corporate Services /Clerk: Re: Proposed Development along Woodland Drive Date - summer 1996 Mr. Piil submitted plans to develop a sub division in the wood lot along Woodland Drive. He owned Plan 51R #8664 -lots 19, 20 Plan 993 -lots 11, 23, 33,41,51,59 and 77. This development was challenged by a group of Woodland Drive residents who hired a lawyer to state their case. Subsequently the development was denied by the Township due to the zoning by -law applying to the wood lot. I believe it was called "Rural Restricted." I have been informed that a new owner has taken over this property and in addition to the wood lot area; it is proposed to build residences on the 30ft easement lots. When I purchased my home at 1069 lot #32 in October 1987, my lawyer provided a copy of Township rules pertaining to zone SR2. See attached. Permanent Shoreline Residential SR2 Part 4.11.2 - Regulations Residential Use b. Minimum Lot Frontage requirement (ii) with private well and private effluent disposal- 30 metres. Page 191 of 229 13a) Correspondence received re: Proposed Development of 1. In the case of our lot, we purchased believing that the easement could not be developed and there was no concern regarding parking and access to the residence. If the SR2 zoning is changed it will certainly affect the value of our property and incur costs to construct another access to the residence. If it is intended to change SR2 to allow development on 30 feet rather than 30 metres, the Township has a responsibility to advise adjacent property owners of such drastic zoning alterations prior to any action. I would appreciate hearing from you regarding my concerns before any changes to by -laws or approval of the proposed development. Yours truly, -� Colin Taylor -7e>6 -32 !� �-Vq 8 cc.

There was a difference in zoning when Orillia Township was amalgamated with Oro - Medonte. 8. This was rectified in the case of the wood lot. However, it appears that the 30 metre g requirement has been misinterpreted as 30 feet residential lot width. This calls for some research into the pre- amafgamation records. Due to the SR2 regulation there was no concern regarding any building on these 30 lots. We purchased the property on lot #32 in October 1987. The previous owners Fryers and the original owners Symons who built the residence and moved in December 1962 had used the top part of the easement as a driveway for lot #32 and has been so used since 1962 for 50 years. In the case of our lot, we purchased believing that the easement could not be developed and there was no concern regarding parking and access to the residence. If the SR2 zoning is changed it will certainly affect the value of our property and incur costs to construct another access to the residence.

We live on Woodland Drive and on July 13, 2012 several 30 -foot lots were purchased on our street. All lots, addresses and owners are on schedule "A " attached. We are writing this letter based on three different events that have occurred within the last several months. 1.Surveyors came onto "our" property and measured where our septic system was placed. 2.Contractors have been on the 30' lot adjacent to our house to determine "what trees would need to be cut down" in order to construct a house on the lot. 3.An engineer from GEOSpec Ltd Barrie has been retained by the owners of the 30' lot beside our house to do slope analysis and soil testing for Lake Simcoe Conservation. Three pegs have been placed in the ground by Mr. Malcolm and we have been informed by him that the testing would be done soon. Due to our concerns of these above - mentioned events, I have also spoken with Bobbi Lovering your Chief Building Official. She stated she is aware of the intent of these owners to build homes on these 30 -foot lots. She also stated that no formal permits have been applied for as yet. She stated she has many concerns of putting a home on a 30 -foot lot. Specifically her concerns were the challenges for: putting a driveway, well, septic, new house and drainage on a small lot. Page 195 of 229 13a) Correspondence received re: Proposed Development of 1. Page 196 of 229 3. 4. 5. Several other permanent homeowners on Woodland Drive share many 6 concerns as we do, about the new owners being allowed to build on these 7. 30 -foot lots Our bylaws now require a minimum of 60 or 100 feet of g. frontage. (Oro Medonte By Laws: Tab BI Standards For Permitted 9 Uses). We are all concerned about the value of our homes going down. Two homes on Woodland have been recently sold for approximately one million dollars. We feel "silo styled homes" of 20 feet wide on these lots would affect the value of all homes on this street. These decreased values would reflect in reduced taxes in the future to the township. Personally: due to many upgrades, improvements and an addition we have done to our home (all following by laws) our home is valued at approximately $800,000.00. It is a concern to us that a house constructed beside us on a 30 -foot lot would affect our home's value. Due to the size restriction of these proposed houses of 20 feet wide, we are concerned that they would not conform to the lake front neighborhood. As found online: "Oro's Economic development plan" dated 2011 In it they talk about challenges (water table not able to handle population increase), needs (ecology is more important than economy - "why do we always need to capitalize on our assets ? "), goals (protect lakes, keep environment top priority, minimize development) and improving quality of life for residents (by maintaining the treed landscape). These were taken directly from this document yet the proposed plans for these properties seem to be a contradiction. Our personal concerns for our home of 1109 Woodland Dr. (see attached photos) are as follows: 1.The proximity of the excavation for a foundation of a house on the lot beside us would be less than 1 -meter distance from our well. This would virtually render our well useless and we would incur a cost of approximately $12,000. to replace it. 2.Again: the excavation would kill three mature trees, which are on our property line. 3.Drainage is of major concern because the road is considerably higher than the lot and there is a major run off in the spring and after heavy rain. We are not sure how drainage can be accomplished within 1 metre and not Page 196 of 229 13a) Correspondence received re: Proposed Development of 1. In conclusion we hope we have expressed our concerns regarding a 20 -foot home to be built on a 30 -foot lot beside us, which would not conform to the neighborhood. I would like to present this information verbally to council and I will be speaking to the clerk regarding how to proceed with this process. Thank you for your attention with the above matter.

We have spent a considerable amount of money in drains 7. both in front of our house and on our front lawn to alleviate drainage problems. 8. 4.We have a major concern of having a septic system on a 30 -foot building 9. lot in close proximity to our well.

Sent: Monday, April 29, 2013 10:32 PM To: Hughes, Harry 5 Cc: Evans, Dwight 6 Subject: Woodland Drive 7. Dear Harry 8. Hope you are well. 9 Not sure if you remember me? We have met several times at the WORA meetings I am the Treasurer of the West Oro - Ratepayers Association and my name is Kelly Lazar. I also sell waterfront properties on Lake Simcoe between Barrie and Orillia I in Oro- Medonte where I am a part-time resident. I have a few waterfront listings on Woodland Drive for sale just off of the 15th line) and there was a issue brought to my attention by my clients concerning the 7 waterfront lots that were purchased by MGM Farms and other interested parties. The concern that my clients and their waterfront neighbours have is the following: 1) MGM Farms owns the property known as 643 LINE 15 SOUTH (PIN 585660238). The developer (whether it be MGM or a third party acting on their behalf) has spoken to Bobbi Lovering at the township about subdividing the land for residential development. This property is not waterfront property and the subdivision of this land into smaller building lots would affect the property values of the waterfront properties that currently exist plus not to mention the environmental concerns and issues that would be associated with the proposed future development. 2) MGM Farms has also purchased several 30ft. lots along Woodlands registered to MGM Farms and also in the name of other interested parties. PIN Numbers: 585660226,585660205, 585660214, 585660199, 585660185, 585660169, 585660191. The concern with these purchases is that the same developer (whether it be MGM Farms or a third party acting on their behalf) has already put a proposal in with the township to build on these 30 ft. lots. A contractor has already been around to inspect trees that need to be removed in order to commence construction. These lots are designated as "shoreline residential 2" and the restrictions in terms of building are not as restrictive and that itself is a big concern. Everyone is concerned that a potential developer has even got this far in the process without the waterfront owners having a chance to voice their concerns in how this will impact them. My one client who I have their property for sale has already lost a potential buyer because of this very reason. The Buyer wouldn't proceed with an Offer for the fear of the future value of their purchase. The waterfront owners along Woodland are deeply concerned about the future values of their properties, the environmental impact on Lake Simcoe and their drinking water. What my clients and the other resident's would like is to be able to meet with council to speak about their concerns, see what the developer has proposed in terms of the development of the 643 LINE 15 SOUTH, and also the 7 - 30 ft. waterfront lots and have a voice in the process. Please let me know who you suggest the resident's should contact so that they can be kept in the loop, have voice and see what the developer is proposing. I have also copies Dwight Evans on this email because I believe he is the Council for Ward 5 and should also be able to assist in this process. All the best.....

Steinberg and Mr. L. Weitrich and Irina wants to develop lots 643, 11091 1069, 999, 967, 891, 1157 on Woodland Drive (MGM Farms and Fingers ltd.), we find this extremely detrimental to the tranquility of our neighborhood. Also most homes on this road are$500,000 to million dollar homes. To allow these silo homes to be erected would be not only eye sores but would definitely decrease the value of our homes. If decrease in home values were to happen it would mean assessment values would decrease and therefore decrease taxes, which would impact revenue for Oro Medonte. Most important is the environmental issues. How could anybody put a septic on a lot that size and be adequate to adhere to the bylaws of The Township of Oro Medonte. Also as I'm sure you aware there is quite a large wet land on the farm land they plan to develop.

May 6, 2013 Re: Solar Panel Project — Line 1 North Dear Mayor Hughes We moved to Oro Medonte a few years ago to enjoy the peaceful scenery of the trees, landscape and farmer's fields. We do not want to trade trees, fields of corn, wheat and beans for fields of glass panels, transformers, and hydro lines with 60 foot hydro poles. We think that the greed of a few people, taking advantage of a ridiculous Government Green Campaign will end up being a huge burden to the Township and Ontario taxpayers. It would be unfair to the residents of this area to be forced to tolerate an industrious undertaking in such a beautiful and peaceful farming community. The land in this area has always been successful growing crops. The acreage just north of us has a couple of natural springs that move water through drainage tiles laid in the field. They run into a small creek that flows year round through our property We believe that the quality of our lifestyle and the value of our properties would be greatly affected if we allow this project to develop. As our Mayor, please take all necessary measures to prevent this from happening. Sincerely, John and Cathryn Vizza 1193 Line 1 N.

From: jbeer Sent: Friday, May 10, 2013 3:38 PM To: Hughes, Harry Subject: Proposed Solar Application for 1251 Line 1 North RR2 Shanty Bay, ON LOL2LO Contact: Mayor Harry Hughes Dear Mr. Hughes, It has come to my attention that a proponent for a solar facility has made a request of Oro - Medonte for community support regarding a proposal to develop the property located at 1251 Line 1 North RR2, Shanty Bay, ON LOL2LO. Many residents have concerns as this farm is presently being cropped and it is the responsibility of Oro - Medonte Township to protect farmland and maintain its agricultural reputation. Moreover, the farm also has EP land running up the middle and stretchs to the east side of the property line. This sensitive EP land has natural springs that flow to the surface and begin their run south toward the Willow Creek which eventually flows into the Nottawasaga River and Georgian Bay. The EP land is also home to many species including the Bobolink which is considered by the Ministry of Natural Resources as a species at risk. This EP land in the centre of the farm and toward the east side of the property line is the perfect nesting grounds for these birds as it is covered in wetland grasses and cattails. Furthermore, The EP land is most likely home to many riparian species that are also at risk and should be protected. In addition, the farm has a high water table and would not make for solid footings for solar panels, not to mention the concern for water contamination. It is our request that the Council of Oro - Medonte not grant approval for this solar development site as it would negatively effect the the natural environment, species at risk, and the local residents.

From: haraldg Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 11:34 AM To: Hughes, Harry Subject: Solar Farm - Sun Edison Contact: Mayor Harry Hughes Dear Sir, As property owners at 1128 Line 1 North we are not pleased with the Sun Edison proposal to install solar panels on the adjoining property. As we had been approached by Sun Edison to allow solar panels to be installed on our property we know first hand that the company is not forthcoming with a solid plan on the layout and how exactly they are planning to transport the power into the grid. As is, the infra structure is not set up for this development. Sun Edison claimed they were using the existing hydro system. This is untrue, the existing hydro system will require to be upgraded. This upgrade is invasive and will permanently spoil the country side. Another reason for our objection is the noise pollution. It has been stated by Sun Edison that the noise level will be equal to a car driving by. That is not an acceptable noise level for a country setting particularly at a constant rate of 24/7. The frequency of the constant humming of transformers does not equal the noise of a car driving by. It also has been proven that capturing sun energy on the scale proposed for this area is extremely inefficient and countries in Europe are already abandoning this type of installation. This does of course not concern Sun Edision, who is guaranteed a payback over the 20 year term by the Ontario Government with all of Ontario residents paying for this government folly with our taxes. Another concern is the destruction of the land. The installation will degrade the soil for any future agricultural use. Sun Edision is not taking any responsibility for removing the infrastructure that will be on the land owners property after the completion of the 20 year lease. Sun Edison can just walk away leaving a deteriorating eye -sore of solar panels, concrete and transformers. Therefore, as property owners who have been involved with Sun Edison over the last year and have asked the hard questions of Sun Edison, we strongly oppose the installation of a solar farm in this area. We are very upset and wish the township to do all that is necessary the stop this project. Harald Gaul & C.

As you know, June is Seniors' Month and Ontario has been celebrating it for 29 years The theme this year is The Art of Living. It celebrates how seniors in Ontario have created their own unique approach to living. Older Ontarians practice The Art of Living every day. They've worked hard and continue to contribute much to the prosperity we all enjoy today. Celebrating Seniors' Month has become our collective way of giving something back to them. June 15, is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day which presents a meaningful opportunity to share information and become involved. For more information about elder abuse, visit the Ontario Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse's website at www.oni)ea.org. In the past, communities have reached out to older Ontarians by organizing local information fairs, celebrating seniors' achievements, providing information, and by encouraging seniors to remain active and engaged. Seniors' Month is a good opportunity to put the spotlight on the local services and programs available in your community to assist seniors to live as independently as possible. For your convenience, a sample proclamation is enclosed for your consideration. Please let us know if you will be honouring seniors in your community this June with a local proclamation. You can contact us by email at infoseniorsCcDontario.ca. We will be sending promotional materials soon. Please let us know about any events you are planning and we will post them on the Ontario Seniors' Secretariat website at www.ontarioseniors.ca /seniorsmonth.
