RE: Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Applications
Township's Circulation and Request for Comments/Notice of Public Meeting
Horseshoe Ridge Subdivision — Proposed Townhome Development
Applicant: Horseshoe Valley Lands Ltd.
Location: Part of Lots 3 & 4, Concession 4, (Geographic Township of Oro), Township of Oro-
Medonte, County of Simcoe
Township Files: Official Plan Amendment 2014-OPA-02
Zoning By-law Amendment 2014-ZBA-05 2012-ZBA-09 and 2012 -SUB -02
Subdivision Files 2012 -SUB -02 and 43 -OM -20001
Dear Mr. Kozlowski,
Thank you for circulating the above -noted applications and supporting materials to the County of Simcoe
for review and comment. County planning staff has reviewed the following documents:
1. Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment Application Forms
2. Draft OPA and ZBA Amendment Text and Schedules (RUDY & Associates)
3. Planning Justification Report (RUDY & Associates, April 2014)
4. Servicing Revision Letter (Gerritts Engineering, January 13, 2015)
In reviewing the draft OPA section 2.2 Details of the Amendment, there is reference to "the Redline
Draft Plan of Subdivision 43 -OM -20001 dated June 30th, 2000 as approved by the Township on March
5,2014-
Reviewing
,2014"
Reviewing the subdivision file for 43 -OM -20001 and focusing on the approval of the redline plan in
2014, it appears that only a portion of the original draft approved lands were redlined (Landscape Drive
Phase 3) and that these revisions were identified on a new plan prepared by Dino Astri Surveying Ltd.
dated May 16, 2013 and revised on July 17, 2013. This was the plan approved by the Township on
March 5, 2014. Lots 9 to 13 and 45 to 48 are identified on this 2013 plan at the locations of the lands
subject to the proposed OPA and ZBA but these lot numbers don't coincide with the lot locations on the
original 2000 plan.
The County is recommending that Section 2.2.1 of the OPA be revised to clarify the description of the
approved draft plan as it relates to the lands subject to the OPA application, as follows:

of Subdivision prepared by Dino Astri Surveying dated May 16, 2013 and revised on July

In accordance with the current County of Simcoe Fees and Charges By-law No. 6424, there is a
$2000.00 fee for the review and processing of site specific — private official plan amendments. This fee
is to be paid by the applicant and submitted to the County at such time as the amendment is adopted
by Township Council and submitted to the County for approval.
Please provide the County of Simcoe with a copy of the decision for the Official Plan Amendment and
Zoning By-law Amendment Applications.
If you have any questions regarding the above -noted comments, please do not hesitate to contact the
undersigned.

Subject: 2014 OPA-02 and 2014 ZBA-05, Horseshoe Valley Lands Ltd.
CC: dwitlib@oro-medonte.on.ca;
To: aleigh@oro-medonte.on.ca
Please accept this as my formal response to the request from Horseshoe Valley Lands Ltd. to amend the
Landscapes Phase 3 Plan to permit 19 additional townhomes on Oakmont and Landscapes Avenues.
My neighbours and I strongly supported the initial plan which included 27 townhomes. These were sold out
quite quickly and the first group is under construction. I appreciate the desire of the developer to add more
townhomes in expectation that these will also sell much faster than the rest of the lots on the plan.
At the time of approval of the original plan, the developer was to fulfill several conditions prior to or during
construction. This is what I have observed so far:
• Construction vehicles and material which were to be brought in off Line 3 were in fact using
Landscapes and occasionally Oakmont until the Township forced the developer to block off both
streets completely and open up its entrance from Line 3. Even then, certain trucks and equipment have
continued to be driven around the barriers onto Landscapes.
• Before the subdivision plan was finally approved last July, the developer proceeded to remove all trees,
grasses and topsoil from the entire site. Substantial regrading was also done which changed the level
of land adjacent to my house. A small berm has now been built around the front of my property to
prevent sand runoff onto my property.
• With the removal of topsoil, the entire property consists only of sand and my neighbourhood is now
experiencing actual sandstorms when the wind blows (as it frequently does, given our elevation). My
house and deck will have to be power -washed next spring and the deck is unusable much of the time
when the sand is blowing from next door.
• The neighbours supported the original plan on the basis that the existing single family homes would be
some distance from the townhomes, buffered by other single family lots. This proposed amendment
brings up a concern that the developer will keep coming back to the Township to add more
townhomes within the existing plan. This would not be in keeping with what we originally supported.
• How can what appears to be an addition of 10 (net) homes be serviced with sewers when the original
83 lots were supposed to be the maximum that could be handled by the existing waste water
treatment plant at the Resort?
My request to you is that the requested amendment only be approved if the developer does the following (to
be strictly monitored and enforced by Township staff):
1. Hydro seed all undeveloped property this spring to generate ground cover to stop the sand from blowing
throughout the area. This was done around the storm water pond to the south of the second green of the golf
course. If it can be protected, why not us as neighbours?
Page 27 of 125
5.a) 5:30 p.m. Public Meeting, re: Proposed Amendment to the...
2. Move all construction materials and machinery to the southeast end of the development. There is no need
for trailers, storage boxes, piles of material and trucks to be stored and parked right next to homes on
Landscapes.
3. Obtain a promise from the developer that no more amendments to the lot layout in this specific subdivision
plan will be applied for. We deserve some certainty that decisions will be not be continually overturned. There
is lots of opportunity for the developer to increase densities in the next phases of the entire development,
further east and south of existing homes.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing the outcome of the public meeting.
Sincerely,
Helen MacRae
