Regarding the meeting scheduled for Wednesday March 12/2014 on the above subject wanting to rezone lands from Environmental Protection Zone to Rural Residential 2 Exception Zone for a single detached dwelling. Unfortunately I cannot attend the meeting. I have been advised to file my objection to the proposed zoning by -law amendment in writing via e -mail. I do object for the following reasons: Since Line 4 N has been surfaced the traffic has increased substantially. The bridge across the river would have to be widened to at least the width of the present width of Line 4 N to handle increased traffic. Two cars cannot pass on that bridge. There are too many houses on this road already, the peaceful way of life would be disturbed if more development would be allowed. It is not my desire to live in a country style subdivision. The increased activities such as parties, cars, snowmobiles and the associated noise would not be to my liking.

We did not create these laws to later go around it and change it to suit, especially not for profit. Animals and plants have rights too. If anything, we should be enhancing the environment and create more habitat. The question of increased soil contamination and surface contamination would have to be addressed too. We have good clean drinking water right now and I want to keep it that way. If council votes in favour of this amendment then I am worried that more rezoning and building permit applications will follow. What is good for the goose is good for the gander!

Regarding the meeting scheduled for Wednesday March 12/2014 on the above subject of wanting to rezone lands from Environmental Protection Zone to Rural Residential 2 Exception Zone for a single detached dwelling. As I can not attend this meeting as I will be working I have decided to voice my objection to the proposed zoning by -law amendment in writing. I am voicing my objections for the following reasons: I am very worried over what will become of the wetlands and its animals. We have some very good fishing spots that there due to the river and the wetlands surrounding it. Having more housing on the wetlands or near wetlands will pollute the existing wetlands, in time killing off the population. This will also affect the local wildlife above and beyond the loss of habitat to the addition of housing. Many of the other people living in the area and I depend on the wetlands for our drinking water. Any new development in the area runs risk of contaminating our water and us along with. Having to install water purification may be a requirement if the water does become contaminated, costing the others and I thousands of dollars each. With the addition of more housing comes the addition comes more traffic and more noise. I moved here around 20 years ago for the peace and quiet. I have enjoyed this life as it currently exists and would not like to see it change. Having this amendment passed would open up the area to developers in the future and bring the city life out here to us. As many of us moved out here to get away from the city life and surroundings this would run the risk of alienating us.

Zoning By -law Amendment in- accordance with 'Natural Heritage and Natural Hazard policies established under the Provincial Policy Statement and regulations established under the Conservation Authorities Act. We offer the following comments. The property is within a woodland feature and is traversed by the two Sturgeon Creek tributaries. The NVCA has reviewed the Slope Assessment prepared by Teraprobe (dated May 31, 2013) and the Environmental Impact' Study prepared by Tarandus Associates Limited (dated March 23, 2014). Based upon a site inspection and on -site discussions with the applicant's agents, the NVCA believes there is a development envelope on the property' which is not subject to flood or erosion hazards and also maintains an adequate environmental buffer from the watercourses. The development envelope as outlined on the attached plan takes advantage of ` the higher knoll on the property which the NVCA supports. Provided the area to be rezoned is restricted to the tableland as approximated on the attached development envelope plan, the NVCA has no objection to the;approval of this, application. The NVCA recommends the balance of the property remain within an Environmental Protection(EP) zone. Please note our comments reflect Section 2.1 (Natural Heritage) and Section 3.1 (Natural Hazards) of the Provincial Policy Statement We advise that the property is under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Slmcoe NVCA whereby a permit is required under the Conservation Authorities Act prior to development. Through the. permit process, sediment and erosion control measures would be implemented and site alteration/disturbance Member of u t eke , tin 50 gears n C6r►ser-04001 796 Zfi 3 NOTTAWASAGA VALLEY CONSERVATION AUTHORITY v Centre for Conservation cOC�oNnnsTseerrvv-aa-tion John Hix Conservation Administration Centre w Tiffin Conservation Area - 8195 8th Line � Utopia, On L0M 1T0 ONTAiQ; Telephone: 705.424.1479 * Fax: 705.424.2115 * Web: www.nvca.on.ca -a Email: admin ®nvca.on.ca 20113 -�2.
