East My husband and I purchased 2691 Lakeshore Rd. East some 17 years ago. Title is in my name. We had been looking for the right place for us for quite some time and then we found it. We were secure that no commercial venture was close by (except for the general store X mile away) and that no commercial property was nearby on the lake. Now, we received notice of the application by Mr. and Mrs. Campbell to change their residential property into a Bed and Breakfast. The Campbells live 2 doors away from us. We strongly object to this application. We feel that should this application be granted that it will change the residential feeling of our area. It will also affect our property value on the downside. Attached to our letter is an opinion of Forest Hill Real Estate confirming our belief. We are aware that this application is made by our next door neighbor's ( the lot to our east) daughter. This neighbor has lived there much longer than us and is well known to the residents on our street. Should you grant the application we feel that there will be many more such applications to change the shoreline residential status of the area. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the meeting on Nov.1, 2017 as we will be out of Canada on a vacation that was planned last spring. We would also like to point out that we spend at least 4 days a week at our home at 2691 Lakeshore Rd. East and it is open all year. 60/L0 39Vd Q13 VGVNvb S100a Z90LL8L9Lb 17:80 LLOZ/ZS/0L Please send a copy of the decision to me: Rima Biback 619 Avenue Road # 802 Toronto, Ontario M4V 2K6 Respectfully submitted *1 L Rima Biback I agree to the aboves Norman Biback Q.C.

E., Oro-Medonte You have asked our company for an opinion with reference to the application of Doug & Kim Campbell to re -zone 2679 Lakeshore Rd. E., to permit a bed and breakfast establishment. Our Company is very active in the Township of Oro-Medonte. We have listed and sold many properties in this area. We recently sold the property a few lots from 2679 Lakeshore Rd. E, Your property at 2691 Lakeshore Rd. E., is 2 lots away from 2679 Lakeshore Rd. E. It is our opinion that a bed and breakfast just 2 doors away from you will have a negative effect on your property value. It is very unlikely that prospective buyers would be interested in buying a cottage property within the vicinity of bed and breakfast.

Based on our review of the submitted materials we are satisfied from a watershed management perspective that this application is consistent with the Natural Heritage and Natural Hazard Policies of the PPS, and conforms with the requirements of the LSPP and Ontario Regulation 179/06. As such, the LSRCA has no further requirements as they relate to this Application for Zoning Bylaw Amendment. Please be advised that this property is partially regulated by Ontario Regulation 179/06 under the Conservation Authorities Act, and a permit from our office is required prior to any development or site alteration within the regulated area.

Bass 2675 Lakeshore Road East, Oro-Medonte, On, LOL 1TO October 30, 2017 Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Oro-Medonte, Ontario LOL ZED Attn: Secretary -Treasurer Re: 2017-ZBA-11 (Doug & Kim Campbell) Dear Sirs: I am writing in regard to the proposed Zoning By-law Amendment where the subject lands are presently zoned Shoreline Residential (SR) and my next-door neighbours at 2679 Lakeshore Road east would like this rezoned to permit a Bed and Breakfast Establishment on their property. I am objecting to this change for reasons listed below 1. This Bed and Breakfast has been already open and is presently running in our zoned Residential area since May 2017 as is posted on their webpage, regardless of the present zoning. 2. Thus, I am able to object from the experience that I have endured during this first unauthorized season. 3. I've had to put up over 150 feet of wooden fencing to: salvage some privacy, assist with noise abatement, and deter daily strangers from wandering onto my property. 4. Unfortunately, at the water, my property has no place for a barrier between the two properties, thus strangers are within inches of my once private deck and shoreline on a daily basis. As such, I am the most affected tax -payer by this Bed and Breakfast eastablishment. 5. 1 bought this property in 1997 and am rebuilding solely because it was zoned Shoreline Residential without abutting neighbours running a commercial business with numerous strangers (between 2-6 daily) all season, so far May through October 2017. 6. This street has been a quiet retreat since 1997 and I would like to see it remain as such, especially right next door to me. 7. Changing the zoning from SR to Bed and Breakfast to the property adjacent to mine would decrease my property value for the reasons listed above. 8. Increased traffic on Lakeshore Road in addition to the 14th Line of Oro-Medonte (which is already in terrible condition at the intersection of HWY 11) results in more commuters and wear and tear on the roads, and the Bed and Breakfast strangers are not paying taxes. I am working out of town on Wednesday November 1, 2017 and thus am unable to personally be at the public meeting. Thank you for your consideration, and please notify me of the decision (this is my written request) Cathie J. Bass November 1, 2017 Development Services Committee 5a) Additional correspondence received November 1, 2017 Sent by email: dwitlib@oro-medonte.ca Township of Oro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Oro-Medonte, Ontario LOL 2EO Att'n:Secretary-Treasurer Dear Sirs / Mesdames: RE: 2017-ZBA-11 (Doug & Kim Campbell) Proposed Amendment to the Zoning By-law of the Township of Oro-Medonte The undersigned is a residential homeowner on Eight Mile Point Rd. which is located in the same community as the Lakeshore Dr. property which is the subject of the above application. As a longstanding resident of the Carthew Bay community I have significant concerns regarding the establishment of bed and breakfast and other short term rental operations in this area. The increasing prevalence of these types of commercial operations in a residential community, facilitated by online services such as AirbnbB and VRBO, is not compatible with the private residential use of properties around Carthew Bay. This is a quiet residential community and homeowners in this area reasonably expect that the quiet use and enjoyment of their properties will continue and will not suffer or be adversely affected by commercial operations located on neighbouring properties. Properties rented through websites such asAirbnb and VRBO are becoming increasingly controversial due to the disturbances that can be caused to neighbouring homeowners by the behaviour of those renting these properties on a short term basis. Reports are common of individuals renting a property on a short term basis causing disturbances and not having the same respect for the quiet enjoyment of neighbouring properties as would be expected from a private homeowner. Allowing bed and breakfast or other short term rental operations in this area would permit a highly disruptive activity in the community and would not be in keeping with the character of this residential area. The expectation of quiet use and enjoyment is reflected in the Zoning By-law which does not permit bed and breakfast establishments in areas zoned as Shoreline Residential. Allowing an amendment of the by- law for this purpose would be a significant change for residents in the area and would not be in keeping with the objectives and intent of the Zoning By-law. The use of a property for a bed and breakfast is specifically permitted in other zones, specifically Rural, Agricultural and Private Recreation because it can be expected that interference with the neighbouring properties will be eliminated or minimized due to the larger size of the properties in those zones. This is not the case in the Carthew Bay area where properties are significantly smaller in size. Any disturbance on a property used for bed and breakfast or short term rental purposes will significantly impact the neighbouring residents. When viewed from this perspective the proposed amendment would not be consistent with the objectives or the spirit and intent of the Zoning By-law. It is incumbent on the owner of the property seeking the amendment to demonstrate that the proposed amendment will not have an adverse impact on the surrounding community. There can be no expectation by the property owner that the amendment will be approved as one must presume that when the property was purchased it was based on the full knowledge that its use as a bed and breakfast was not permitted. It would not be equitable to now prejudice the surrounding community by allowing the proposed amendment. The amendment would in fact operate to financially benefit the property owner seeking the amendment while causing disruption to the surrounding community. For these reasons I do not believe that the proposed amendment should be approved While I believe that the reasons expressed above are a sufficient basis on which to decline approval of the proposed amendment, I would also like to address any questions that might be raised by the Committee or Council concerning the impact of the Official Plan on the amendment application. Although the Official Plan does contemplate that a property within a Shoreline zone may be utilized for purposes of a bed and breakfast operation by way of an amendment to the by-law, the Official Plan does impose a numberof conditions before an amendment of this nature can be considered. Most importantly, one of these conditions provides that 'Council must be satisfied the use shall not have a negative impact on the enjoyment and privacy of neighbouring properties'. Amendments to the by-law for this purpose in residential zones should therefore be restricted to situations where the property size and configuration is comparable to that found in the Agricultural, Rural or Private Recreation zones where the use is already permitted by the by-law. This is not the case in the Carthew Bay area and as a result the proposed amendment should not proceed. Should the Committee or Council decide to consider the approval of the proposed amendment despite the objections outlined above, it would be essential that conditions be imposed. This would be necessary due to the smaller size of properties in the Carthew Bay area and the close proximity of neighbouring properties. The onus of establishing measures to safeguard the enjoyment and privacy of neighbouring residents rests with the applicant seeking an amendment. I am not aware of any measures having been proposed in order to satisfy the conditions of the Official Plan. Conditions which could potentially address the requirement to safeguard neighbouring properties might include the following: • the principal use of the property shall at all times be that of a full time residence of the current property owner; • the use of the property as a bed and breakfast shall be a secondary use of the property; • the owner of the property shall be present on the property during those times while rooms are being rented; • rental accommodations shall consist of bedrooms only and shall not include cooking facilities and shall not be a self-contained suite or apartment • food and meal service shall be included in the price of the accommodation and provided by the owner of the property to all individuals renting rooms at the property; there shall be a policy of no egress and ingress to the property by those renting rooms during the hours of 11 pm to 7 am, other than for emergency purposes; the amendment shall automatically terminate in the event that the property is sold or transferred. Conditions such as those above may potentially provide some measure of reassurance that the behaviour of individuals renting rooms on a short term basis will be monitored and controlled by the property owner who has an interest in minimizing disturbances to the neighbours. By limiting the duration of the amendment there would be an opportunity to revisit the matter if necessary following a sale or transfer. The financial benefit of any amendment of this nature should not be permitted to accrue to any future owner. The Committee and Council may also need to consider other conditions in order to achieve the objectives and intent of the Official Plan. I am not aware of any such conditions having been proposed however. Accordingly, and for all of the reasons outlined above, I do not believe that the application to amend the zoning for the property should be approved. Dean Blain 73 Eight Mile Point Rd.

Council <Council@aro-medonte.ca>; Leigh, Andria <aleigh@oro-medonte.ca>; Hughes, Harry <harry.hughes@oro- medonte.ca> Subject: PUBLIC MEETING FOR WARD 5 B+B BYLAW AT 2679 LAKESHORE RD EAST PLEASE INSURE THIS COMMUNICATION IS READ TO THE RECORD AT THE NOV 1, 2017 PUBLIC MEETING The stretch of Lakeshore Rd East between Shoreline and Line 14S which includes #2679 is 100% pure residential. There are NO commercial entities present in this neighbourhood. These residents provide their own water and septic systems AND pay incredibly high taxes for their neighbourhood. A B+B facility will reduce property values, as documented by other residents, and will increase neighbourhood noise and activity with guests coming and going at all hours. Service vehicles will be bringing in linens, etc. In addition, there are significant issues with the Occupancy Permit for the residence in question as it pertains to septic capacity and the number of individuals 'resident' in the house. The SMDHU, the Health Unit, will have to permit this site and guarantee there will be no septic issues. The area is virtually at zero feet above sea level, the shoreline, as the land is low lying which will affect the proper performance of the system. Excessive laundry and bath/shower grey water will quickly fill the septic to capacity and overflow. There are already issues with a B+B in OM Ward 3 where residents have had to deal 11- 12 'guests' at any one time, excessive strewn about garbage along the roadway and noise. The site has filled the septic system and overflowed several times affecting nearby residents. Notices of violation have been posted as compliance and corrective actions are sought. The Ward 3 Councillor has not been of help and the resident has had to do all the work of dealing with the LSRCA and the SMDHU by themselves. Do not be fooled by the applicant who will of course most likely say everything is under control and they won't allow excessive septic use, water and noise. We know how that works out from the Ward 3 B+B. Do the right thing and maintain the 100% residential status in the area. There are no benefits to the nearby neighbouring residents, there are no benefits to OM and the only benefits appear to be for the applicant at the expense of other residents. This is not right. Do NOT support this bylaw.The current neighbourhood status and negative resident experiences with the Ward 3 B+B are reason enough to NOT approve re -zoning to allow for a commercial enterprise. Please vote NO to this by-law.
