An assessment of trees to determine the presence/absence of butternut should be
undertaken as part of due diligence to ensure compliance with the Endangered

provincial level, species at risk protection is part of the mandate of the Ontario
Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry through the Committee on the Status of

Skyline Horseshoe Valley Inc. ("Skyline")
Application 2014-ZBA-14 - Heights of Horseshoe Ski & Country Club ("Ski Club")
Dear Mr. Irwin:
We are in receipt of the Notice of Public Meeting for the proposed Amendment to the Zoning By-
law affecting the Heights of Horseshoe Ski & Country Club property. As adjacent landowner, Sky-
line has a direct interest in this matter and, based on a preliminary review of the proposal, raise
the following concerns for the Township's consideration:
1. The proposal is for an expansion of floor area, permitted uses, and of related parking facili-
ties. As you know the County of Simcoe is currently conducting a Municipal Class EA of a
proposed County Road 22 widening. The changes proposed by the Ski Club will likely result
in additional traffic movements. Have the proponents prepared a traffic study in support of
the application that addresses, amongst other issues, improvements to the Skyline -owned
private access road and improvements to the intersection with County Road 22?
2. The proposed expansion of the facilities and uses will likely result in an increased demand for
water and wastewater services. In light of the ongoing Horseshoe Craighurst Corridor Master
Plan Study, what are the proposed servicing improvements and what is the contemplated
status of the Ski Club in the Master Plan Study?
3. According to the Notice, the "lands are proposed to be rezoned from a Future Development
Exception 67 (FD*67) Zone to a Private Recreation Exception — Holding (PR*#)(H) Zone."
Schedule A15 to the Township's Zoning By-law, however, indicates that the lands proposed
to be rezoned are at present zoned partly FD*67 and partly PR. What is the reason for this
discrepancy?
Please advise Skyline of additional Public Meetings, if any, and of all decisions related to this
matter by the Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Yours sincerely,
Skyline Horseshoe Valley Inc.
