Subject: Response to Oro-Medonte regarding Craighurst development
Hi Andria,
I have reviewed the materials provided, and it appears that the drinking water, sanitary (wastewater)
and stormwater servicing infrastructure for the proposed development will be constructed and owned
by the developer before being assumed by the municipality in the future. I offer the following
comments at this time:
Drinking water servicin
A privately owned drinking water system servicing a major residential development (6 or more
residential units), is, in accordance with the Drinking Water Regulation, a Non -municipal Year Round
Residential Drinking Water System (NMYRR DWS). Please see information with respect to the legislative
requirements for a NMYRR DWS at the following link:
https://www.onta rio.ca/page/provid ing-safe-d ri n kine -water -public -guide -owners -and -operators -non -
municipal -yea r -round -residential
Any questions regarding the proposed drinking water system can be directed to me (705-739-6380)
Sanitary(Wastewater) and Stormwater servicing
The proposed privately owned wastewater and stormwater collection and treatment systems, will
require pre -consultation with the Barrie District MOECC office as part of the ECA application procedure.
Please advise the developer to contact Chris Hyde, District Supervisor, (705-739-6417) to arrange any
pre -consultation meetings in this regard.

RE: Review and Entry into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports:
Archaeological Assessment Report Entitled, "Stage 1-2 Archaeological
Assessment of Part of Lots 41 and 42, Concession 1 (Geographic Township of
Medonte) Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe", Dated Jan 31, 2018, Filed
with MTCS Toronto Office on Feb 26, 2018, MTCS Project Information Form Number
P058-1582-2017, MTCS File Number 0007144
Dear Mr. Henry:
This office has reviewed the above-mentioned report, which has been submitted to this ministry as a
condition of licensing in accordance with Part VI of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c 0.18.' This
review has been carried out in order to determine whether the licensed professional consultant
archaeologist has met the terms and conditions of their licence, that the licensee assessed the property
and documented archaeological resources using a process that accords with the 2011 Standards and
Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists set by the ministry, and that the archaeological fieldwork and
report recommendations are consistent with the conservation, protection and preservation of the cultural
heritage of Ontario.
The report documents the assessment of the study area as depicted in Figure 8: Detailed Aerial of the
Stage 2 Archaeological Assessment Results and Figure 9: Detailed Plan of the Stage 2 Archaeological
Assessment Results of the above titled report and recommends the following:
Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50)
1. The Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) of the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) has not been
completely documented. There is potential for further CHVI for this location. The Craighurst-93 Site requires
Stage 3 Site-specific Assessment to gather further data to determine if Stage 4 Mitigation of Development
Impacts will be required.
2. A Stage 3 Site-specific assessment of the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) must be completed for this site
in accordance with the Standards and Guidelines for Consultant Archaeologists (MTC 2011) for sites where
it is not yet evident that the level of cultural heritage value or interest will result in a recommendation for
Stage 4;
3. A Controlled Surface Pick-up must be completed as part of Stage 3 Site-specific Assessment of the
Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50), if the site area is covered with new growth between Stages 2 and 3, then the
site area amd 20 metres beyond the site area in all directions must be ploughed and weathered in
Page 2 of 3
preparation for the CSP.
4. It is recommended that a series of 1x1 metre test units be placed at a five metre interval across the entire
site area with infilling squares amounting to 20% of the grid total.
5. The Stage 3 Site-specific Assessment of the Craighurst-93 Site must include further archival research in
order to establish the details of the occupation and land use history of the rural township lot of which the
study area was a part. This recommendation is backed up by the knowledge of a local resident that was
provided to the field director.
6. No soil disturbances or removal of vegetation shall take place within the archaeological site identified as
the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50)within this Stage 1-2 Archaeological Assessment report, or within the area
enclosed within a 20 metre buffer surrounding the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50)prior to the acceptance of
the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport (MTCS) of a report recommending that all archaeological
concerns for the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50)have been addressed and that there is no further cultural
heritage value or interest for this site.
7. Prior to pre -grading, servicing or registration, the owner shall erect and maintain a temporary high
visibility construction fence to be maintained through the course of all construction activities at a 20 metre
buffer around the archaeological site identified as the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) within this Stage 1-2
Archaeological Assessment report to ensure that construction activities do not impinge upon the
Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) unless under the direct supervision of a consulting archaeologist licensed in
Ontario by the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sport and as a part of the ongoing archaeological
investigations of the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) Site.
8. The high visibility fence will be installed at the outer limit of the 20 metre wide Protective Buffer
surrounding the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) as illustrated in the accompanying mapping within the
Supplementary Report Package of this report filed with MTCS prior to the commencement of any
development activity anywhere within the proposed development.
9. A Fifty (50) metre wide Monitoring Buffer shall be observed surrounding the above -noted 20 metre wide
Protective Buffer. Within the 50 metre Monitoring Buffer no ground altering works (including removal of
vegetation or demolition of existing features) may be conducted unless under the direct supervision of a
licensed archaeologist.
10. The licenced archaeologist supervising any work conducted within the 50 metre wide Monitoring Buffer
has the authority to order a halt to any activity which in his or her view may result in adverse impacts to
archaeological resources.
11. The 50 metre wide Monitoring Buffer will remain in effect until such time that the Stage 3 Site-specific
Assessment report for the Craighurst-93 Site (BdGw-50) identified within this Stage 1-2 Archaeological
Assessment report is accepted into the Provincial Registry of Archaeological Reports by the Ontario
Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport.
12. Written instructions will be provided to all persons permitted to enter the property to stay out of the area
of the 20 metre wide Protective Buffer unless permitted to enter the area accompanied by a licenced
archaeologist.
13. Written instructions will be provided to all persons permitted to enter the property for the purposes of
undertaking work associated with the development that no work is permitted to occur within the 50 metre
wide Monitoring Buffer unless under direct supervision of a licenced archaeologist.
14. Written instructions will be provided to all persons permitted to conduct work within the 50 metre wide
Monitoring Buffers that the licenced archaeologist has the authority to order a halt to any work that he or
she feels may adversely impact archaeological resources.
15. It is anticipated that the fieldwork and reporting of the Stage 4 Mitigation of Development Impacts (if
required) will be completed before the end of 2018 and it is not anticipated that any development activity
will be necessary within the 50 metre wide Monitoring Buffers prior to the Spring of 2018.
Lang Site (BdGw-51)
16. The Cultural Heritage Value or Interest (CHVI) of the Lang Site (BdGw-51) has not been completely
documented. There is potential for further CHVI for this location. The Lang Site requires Stage 3 Site-
specific Assessment to gather further data to determine if Stage 4 Mitigation of Development Impacts will
be required.
17. The Lang Site (BdGw-51) and a 20 metre wide protective buffer are wholly contained within Other
Page 3 of 3
Lands Owned By Applicant, which is not to be developed at this time. The 50 metre wide monitoring buffer
for the Lang Site is contained within the Environmental Protection (EP) lands.
18. A Stage 3 Site-specific assessment of the Lang Site is not required if appropriate zoning can be put in
place to restrict any ground altering activity in this area. If this area cannot be zoned with sufficient
protections to safeguard this site from impacts through landscape modifications,
19. A copy of the Zoning By -Law Application is included with the submission of this report to MTCS.
Knox Presbyterian Cemetery
20. It is recommended that the area bounded by the Knox Presbyterian Cemetery be subject to Stage 3
investigations in the form of a 10 metre wide buffer extending the length of the cemetery mechanically
stripped by a backhoe fitted with a smooth buck to determine if the cemetery extends into the study area.
The cemetery was established in 1849 and modern legal boundaries may not accurately reflect historic
use.
General
21. The proponent must provide a letter on letterhead to MTCS itemizing all of the above conditions and
committing to ensure that all of these recommendations are implemented. This letter must be submitted
together with this report at the time of filing with MTCS.
22. It is recommended that the balance of the study area outside of the site areas and surrounding
Protective Buffer be cleared of archaeological concern and that development activity be permitted to
proceed, subject to the above provisions.
Based on the information contained in the report, the ministry is satisfied that the fieldwork and reporting for
the archaeological assessment are consistent with the ministry's 2011 Standards and Guidelines for
Consultant Archaeologists and the terms and conditions for archaeological licences. This report has been
entered into the Ontario Public Register of Archaeological Reports. Please note that the ministry makes no
representation or warranty as to the completeness, accuracy or quality of reports in the register.
Should you require any further information regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me.

Dear Sir/Madam,
We have reviewed the circulation regarding the above noted application
The following paragraph is to be included as a condition of approval:
"The Owner shall indicate in the Agreement, in words satisfactory to Bell Canada, that it will
grant to Bell Canada any easements that may be required, which may include a blanket
easement, for communication/telecommunication infrastructure. In the event of any conflict with
existing Bell Canada facilities or easements, the Owner shall be responsible for the relocation of
such facilities or easements".
We hereby advise the Developer to contact Bell Canada during detailed design to confirm the
provision of communication/telecommunication infrastructure needed to service the
development.
As you may be aware, Bell Canada is Ontario's principal telecommunications infrastructure
provider, developing and maintaining an essential public service. It is incumbent upon the
Municipality and the Developer to ensure that the development is serviced with
communication/telecommunication infrastructure. In fact, the 2014 Provincial Policy Statement
(PPS) requires the development of coordinated, efficient and cost-effective infrastructure,
including telecommunications systems (Section 1.6.1).
The Developer is hereby advised that prior to commencing any work, the Developer must
confirm that sufficient wire -line communication/telecommunication infrastructure is available. In
the event that such infrastructure is unavailable, the Developer shall be required to pay for the
connection to and/or extension of the existing communication/telecommunication infrastructure.
If the Developer elects not to pay for the above noted connection, then the Developer will be
required to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Municipality that sufficient alternative
communication/telecommunication will be provided to enable, at a minimum, the effective
delivery of communication/telecommunication services for emergency management services
(i.e., 911 Emergency Services).
MMM (a WSP company) operates Bell Canada's development tracking system, which includes
the intake and processing of municipal circulations. Please note, however, that all responses to
circulations and other requests, such as requests for clearance, come directly from Bell
Canada, and not from MMM. MMM is not responsible for the provision of comments or other
responses.
Should you have any questions, please contact the undersigned.

2003 -SUB -01
2003-ZBA-146
Thank you for circulating a copy of the above -noted draft plan of subdivision
and zoning by-law amendment to this office for review. The draft plan
proposes 318 lots for single family detached dwelling units and is located in
the northeast quadrant of the community of Craighurst. This plan has been
revised from the original application which proposed 183 single detached
dwelling units and now includes Block 320 which is reserved for a public
elementary school, adjacent to Block 319 which is reserved for a park.
The plan is located within the Craighurst Secondary Plan (OPA 27) with the
lands designated Living Area, Community Use Area and Environmental
Protection One. The development will be serviced by a communal septic
system and municipal water is available from the local supply system. The
Secondary Plan's Community Use Area designation lists public schools as a
permitted use and Policy C18.4.3.4 Schools states that "One school site is to
be located on lands designated Community Use Area on Schedule F. It is the
intent of this Plan that:
i) The school is designed and built to adequately serve the surrounding
neighbourhood and/or catchment area; and,
ii) the site is reserved as part of the planning process"
Staff recognize that the school will serve as a focal point of the neighbourhood
and confirm that it shall be located adjacent to parkland. However, staff wish
to point out that the site's size, configuration and location are not adequate.
Elementary school sites need to be a minimum of 2.3 hectares in size in order
to accommodate parking, play areas and greenspace. As to the location of the
school site, we would like it to be located closer to where the majority of the
lots are proposed and not fronting on Horseshoe Valley Road (County Road
22) near its intersection with County Road 93. This will encourage students
living in the proposed homes to walk/cycle to the school. Its current proposed
location would pose safety and traffic concerns for both students and traffic
flow.
Should you wish to meet to discuss the proposed school/park location, please do not
hesitate to contact this office.

Re: Craighurst Developments FSR and Documents Review
Having reviewed the Craighurst Developments Functional Servicing Report and
accompanying documents, please find my comments:
In General:
1. Providing the Preliminary Cut / Fill Dwg. And potential Fill Import or Cut Removal
volumes would be appreciated during servicing and design considerations
(including Engineered Fill locations for both Municipal Infrastructure and Building
Envelopes).
Functional Servicing Report — SCS Consulting Group Ltd.
1. 2.4.2 — Refers to Rear Lot Catch Basins (RLCB).
In our meeting earlier this year and in the Development Standards — RLCBs are
discouraged and should not be considered except in extreme situations.
2. 5.0 — ibid.
3. 6.0 — Speaks to Sidewalks — council appears to be reluctant to consider
sidewalks as part of the functionality of a large 'urban' development.
The report describes compliance with Township Design Standards.
4. Figure No. 2.5 — Proposed Servicing Concept
• Storm Flow Arrow @ North SWM Pond in wrong direction.
• Lots 198 — 220 on Street B are not shown to have Sanitary Sewer
• 4 separate communal septic beds shown — during meeting we asked that
the number and location of beds be looked at for a more concentrated
approach.
5. Figure No. 6.1 — Preliminary Sidewalk Layout
Mid -block sidewalk locations are poorly configured. Suggest that the
sidewalks be uniformly placed on the west side of Streets B, C, D, E, and
A — with A extended to a crossing point at last lot south @ park / septic
bed.
6. Draft Plan of Subdivision / Other Drawings — Street "Names" — lettering is not
applied uniformly.

Proud Heritage, Exciting Future
7. Appendix B — Relevant Excerpts from Previous Reports
• Sewage Flows Rate (CC Tatham) used as 317 Units with 3 persons per
unit. Main body of report refers to 318 units and 2.58 persons per unit.
• North Pond Drainage Area Characteristics (SCS) sp. Wighted %
Impervious should be Weighted % Impervious.
Appendix D — Potential Municipal LIDS
• Consider Soak -Away Pits to be located on Lots rather than within the
R.O.W.
• While supportive of LIDS and LID Technologies — Short / Mid and Long
Term maintenance and replacement costing should be provided /
undertaken before accepting any given suggestion / option.
- Timing, Costs (associated with), Methods / Strategy (i.e. Equip., etc.)
Traffic Impact Study — BA Group
3.0 — The Concept Plan
3.1 Proposed Draft Plan
• Refers to 317 Units (again is it 317 or 318)
3.2 Internal Road Network
• Describes 2 - R.O.W. Profiles to be found in Appendix B (a 20.Om and a
23.0m) and only the 20.Om R.O.W. profile is found.
• If both Profiles are carrying an 8.5m wide carriage way and both have
sidewalk located on 1 side of the road: Why is the necessity for an
additional 3.Om on Street A and B required?
2. 5.0 — Traffic Impacts
5.3 Speed Limit Considerations
• It maybe worthwhile to consider speed limits of 40 kph for the internal
street network being ALL Streets with the exception of Street A (as labeled
on Figure 2.5 — Proposed Servicing Concept in FSR).
Geotechnical Investigation — Golder Associates Ltd.
6.0 Discussion and Geotechnical Recommendations
6.7 Pavement Design
Pavement Specification change is acceptable.
Polymer Added and Non-traditional Asphalt Type(s) should be reviewed
and addressed by both Capital and Operations for serviceability, long term
maintenance and eventual replacement concerns / issues.

Lots 41 and 42 Concession 1, E.P.R. (former Township of Medonte)
Township of Oro-Medonte, County of Simcoe
NVCA ID # 32439
Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision
and Amendment to the Zoning By-law, on the above -noted property in the Township of Oro-
Medonte.
Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority [NVCA] staff have reviewed the Environmental
Impact Study [EIS] prepared by Beacon Environmental dated January 2017. NVCA staff
understands that the development includes 318 detached residential dwellings across a 76.4
hectare parcel; the development also includes associated servicing, institutional, parkland
and open space uses.
The subject property contains a tributary of Matheson Creek, riverine and groundwater -fed
wetlands and significant woodland features. Due to the presence of these features and
associated hazards, the subject property is partially regulated pursuant to Ontario Regulation
172/06 the Authority's Development, Interference with Wetlands and Alterations to
Shorelines and Watercourses Regulation. Permits are required from NVCA prior to
construction or grading on regulated portions of this property.
We offer the following comments:
1) Wetland Features:
a) It is our understanding that the removal of a wetland (community 7b)(see attached
plan) may be required to accommodate an access road in the northwest corner of the
property, while respecting a setback from a railway corridor to the north. NVCA
recommends that the applicant attempt to retain this feature if possible. If retention
is not feasible, NVCA agrees with the recommendation in the EIS that enhancement
and compensation should occur on site to offset the loss of the feature.
b) NVCA staff are concerned that the proposed development may result in long-term
changes in groundwater inputs to wetland community 8a. This groundwater-

influenced wetland community is assumed to be providing a significant contribution to
the cold water function of the Watercourse B (tributary to Matheson Creek) that
crosses the property. Please provide clarification and/or appropriate supporting
materials (e.g. water balance) to support the conclusion that groundwater inputs into
the community will not be significantly impacted by the development.
2) Woodland Features:
a) Based on pre -consultation discussions, NVCA expressed flexibility in allowing septic
infrastructure within 10m buffers from woodland driplines. This is considered
acceptable for non-significant woodlands on the property, and the recommendations
in the EIS for re -vegetation of septic beds is considered acceptable mitigation.
However, NVCA staff does not agree that septic infrastructure should be placed in the
10m buffer from areas identified as significant wood/and. The draft plan should be
revised to ensure that no development (i.e., the septic area located near 2b) is located
within significant woodland buffers.
b) Based on the description provided in the EIS, community 4a is representative of native
upland hardwood forests across the Oro Moraine. Given the relatively high quality of
this community, the entire 4a polygon should be retained and considered significant
woodland. A 10m buffer to development from an established dripline should be applied
to this feature. All development (including lots located to the east of this feature)
should be outside of this buffer.
c) The majority of community 2d appears to be outside of the Secondary Plan boundary,
and is included in provincial Natural Heritage System mapping. NVCA staff believes
that community 2d should be classified as significant woodland, as it is contiguous to
areas of significant woodland adjacent to the eastern property boundary. A 10m buffer
to development from an established dripline should be applied to this feature and the
septic area removed from this feature and its associated buffer.
3) Proposed Lots:
a) The proposed school and park are located at the furthest possible distance to the
majority of proposed homes, with natural features/hazard lands located in between. A
formal trail system, including pedestrian crossing of the watercourse, should be
incorporated into the plan in consultation with the Township of Oro-Medonte and NVCA
staff in order to reduce potential natural heritage impacts and human safety risks
associated with encroachment on natural heritage and natural hazard areas. Any
trail/valley crossing infrastructure should be located north of wetland community 8b,
to avoid any undue disturbance to this sensitive feature.
4) Natural Feature Enhancements:
a) The EIS should be revised/supplemented to expand on the recommended strategy for
enhancement and restoration of retained natural features as well as compensation for
removal of features within the subject lands owned by the applicant. The following
information should be provided:
i) A discussion on the de -commissioning the in-line pond in the northwest corner of
the property to improve cold water function of the stream;
2003 -SUB -01 & 2015-ZBA-02(Craighurst Land Corp.)
Township of Oro-Medonte
NVCA ID # 32439
ii) Enhanced re -vegetation plans for storm water management ponds and buffer areas
adjacent to retained natural features;
iii) An enhancement/compensation strategy to offset the loss of wetland
community 7b, developed in consultation with the NVCA.
5) Natural Feature Protection:
a) The NVCA will require fencing on all lots backing or siding on to open space blocks,
natural heritage features and natural hazard areas [including their associated buffers]
in order to prevent encroachment into the features. The NVCA also recommends that
natural features and natural hazard lands and their associated buffers and access
allowances should be conveyed to the Municipality and restrictively zoned.
Please note that engineering and hydrogeological comments will be provided under separate
cover.
We trust the foregoing is of assistance to you. Please feel free to contact the undersigned

RE: Applications for Draft Plan of Subdivision and Zoning By-law Amendment
Proponent: Craighurst Land Corporation
Agent: Malone Given Parsons
Location: West Part of Lot 41, Concession 1 and 3507 and 3555 Penetanguishene Road,
Township of Oro-Medonte
Related Files: OM-OPA-0927 (OPA 27 — Craighurst Secondary Plan)
Dear Ms. Leigh,
Thank you for circulating the draft plan of subdivision and zoning by-law amendment applications for
lands located in the northeast quadrant of the Settlement Area of Craighurst to the County.
It is our understanding that the subdivision proposal consists of the following:
• 318 single detached lots @ 15.24m (min)
• Municipal wastewater treatment plant block
• Lands for municipal septic beds
• Well and Pumping Station blocks
• SWM Pond blocks
• Park block
• Future School block
• Municipal streets, and
• Environmental protection — natural heritage lands
Property
The subject lands are comprised of three parcels, totaling approximately 75.18 hectares (185.77 acres)
combined. The proposed area of the subdivision, with the exception of one septic bed, falls within the
boundary of the Craighurst Settlement Area. Portions of the property are wooded with a watercourse
(Matheson Creek tributary) bisecting the property. The lands abutting the watercourse are regulated by
the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority requiring permits for development. The property also
falls within a mapped Significant Groundwater Recharge Area.
Page 1 of 4
Current Township of Oro-Medonte Land Use Designations
As per the modified approved Craighurst Secondary Plan (OPA 27 to the Township of Oro-Medonte
Official Plan), the area of the proposed subdivision is currently designated "Living Area", "Community
Use Area", and "Environmental" Protection One".
Section C18.8 (Servicing) to OPA 27 states the following,
All new development within the Craighurst Secondary Plan Area shall be serviced by municipal
water and sewer services and stormwater management facilities within the settlement area
boundary":
The draft plan needs to be revised to demonstrate conformity with this policy. Further, the County
understands that the Master Servicing Plan for the Township is ongoing. Water and sanitary servicing
for the draft plan and secondary plan area will need to be consistent with the findings of the study.
The lands are proposed for the development of single -detached lots only. As per the County's letter
dated November 6, 2017, and in accordance with the policies of the Craighurst Secondary Plan, a
range of housing types and densities, including semi-detached dwellings, townhouses and low-rise
apartment buildings should be considered for these lands.
Countv of Simcoe Official Plan
The area of the proposed subdivision is designated "Settlement" on Schedule 5.1 Land Use
Designations to the County of Simcoe Official Plan. From a County of Simcoe Official Plan perspective,
Settlement Areas and the lands within the Settlement designation are to be the focus of population and
employment growth within the County. Compact urban form that promotes the efficient use of land and
provision of water, sewer, transportation and other services, is supported.
County Roads
The development is proposed to be accessed from two new intersections at County Road 22
(Horseshoe Valley Road) and County Road 93 (Penetanguishene Road). County Transportation and
Engineering staff has provided comment on the proposal under separate cover. Please see the
attached Memo. Transportation and Engineering staff will provide conditions of draft plan following
receipt of the requested information.
County Paramedic Services
The County of Simcoe provides paramedic services to lands throughout Simcoe County. Paramedic
Services had concerns with the long cul-de-sac road proposed in the southwest quadrant of the plan in
the previous concept. The County requested that an alternate access to County Road 93 be explored.
In response, it appears that an 8 metre emergency access has been provided which would connect the
cul-de-sac to County Road 93. County Paramedic Services has confirmed that this is acceptable.
County Waste Collection Services
The County of Simcoe is responsible for providing curbside waste collection services to all residential
lots with frontage on a publically owned and maintained road. All municipal roads, including any dead
end roads, should be designed to accommodate County waste collection vehicles as outlined in the
County's Multi -Residential & Private Road Waste Collection Policy and draft Waste Collection Design
Standards (both attached for your reference). While the purpose of this Policy is to provide direction
with respect to waste collection on private roads, the County also applies these same minimum design
requirements to the design and construction of new municipal roads.
The County requests that the following conditions be included in any draft plan approval of the
subdivision to the satisfaction of the County of Simcoe (`County'):
1. That the Owner/Developer shall agree to include the following clause in the Subdivision
Agreement, to the satisfaction of the County of Simcoe ('County'):
Based on preliminary designs, the County has confirmed that County waste collection services
are feasible for this development. The County is not required to provide waste collection
services along unassumed roads until such time they are assumed by the municipality. The
County may, however, commence waste collection services prior to the municipality assuming
the road once an appropriate level of residency has been confirmed by the County. Such early
provision of waste collection services is contingent upon regular access being available on the
road and is subject to a request being approved by the County Solid Waste Management
Department. This may require temporary turnarounds to be constructed depending on the
phasing of the development. The Owner/Developer acknowledges that should road access be
blocked due to road construction, parked vehicles, insufficient snow removal, etc., or should any
temporary turnarounds not be constructed to the County's standard, service disruptions will
occur. The Owner/Developer is responsible for providing waste collection services until such
time as the County has confirmed that the access restriction has been satisfactorily remedied.
That prior to final approval or registration of any phase(s), the Owner/Developer shall provide
written confirmation to the County of Simcoe that all municipal roads, including any dead end
roads or temporary turnarounds, are designed to accommodate County waste collection
vehicles as per the County's Waste Collection Road Design Policy and applicable Waste
Collection Technical Design Standards document. Furthermore, the Owner/Developer shall
submit all engineering drawings to the County of Simcoe to demonstrate that the design and
construction of all roads complies with the Waste Collection Technical Design Standards.
Failure to construct municipal roads in accordance with County's standards may result in waste
collection services being withheld or suspended, and may require reconstruction to
accommodate waste collection service vehicles.
3. That prior to final registration of each phase, the proposed M -plan for each phase of the
subdivision, or a reference plan that is prepared based on the proposed M -Plan, shall identify
temporary turning circles or hammer -head turnarounds at all dead -ends and cul-de-sacs on
municipal roads to facilitate the safe turnaround of vehicles, including County of Simcoe waste
collection vehicles and emergency services vehicles, to the satisfaction of the Town and
County. A copy of the proposed final M -plan or reference plan showing the temporary turning
circles or hammer -head turnarounds shall be provided to the County for review and approval
prior to registration.
Note to Conditions
1. Modifications to the development design must conform to the County's Waste Collection Road
Design Policy and Waste Collection Technical Design Standards document to ensure that waste
collection services can be provided. Confirmation of waste collection services should be
obtained from the County of Simcoe prior to registration.
Summary
Thank you again for circulating the applications to the County of Simcoe for review. Please circulate a
copy of any future notices associated with these files. If you have any questions or require further
information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at 705-726-9300 Ext. 1360 or

Oro-Medonte
Secretary -Treasurer,
As the owner of an adjacent property I am an interested party to the proposed subdivision plan 2003 -
SUB -01 & 2018-ZBA-02 by the Craighurst Land Corp. I have reviewed the plan to assess the impact to my
property, lifestyle and impact to surrounding habitats. I have some questions and comments from my
initial review of the plan, as provided by township via the Notice of Public Meeting letter and welcome
the opportunity to discuss them with the relevant parties.
The first area of comment I have is in regards to the Craighurst Secondary plan and its status. The most
current comment I can find on the status of the secondary plan is from Oro Medonte Application Status
Report from December 2016 which states,
"Craighurst Secondary Plan OPA No.27 approved by Council/ May 2009. OPA 27 Approved by County of
Simcoe June 2014. Policies now contained in Township's OP and Land Use Schedules. Additional
implementation of policies now required to be completed.". I would appreciate if you can tell me what
the "Additional implementation of policies" entails and if this has been completed. Are there any
approvals or activities remaining before the secondary plan is considered approved?
One of the strategic objectives of the Craighurst Secondary Plan is "C18.2.4.1 Strategic Objectives c)
Encourage the appropriate school board to consider the development of a new urban school in
Craighurst as soon in the development cycle as possible to support the establishment of a complete
community."
Was this strategic objective addressed yet and did the school board provide any indication of a school
location in Craighurst? The proposed development plan provides an area (2.05 ha) for a school but if the
school board has provided an indication that this would not be a location then should the development
plan still reflect this? Is there a period of time that this land (Block 320) needs to be set aside while the
school decisions are being made? What would the land use for this" Core Area" (as defined in the
Craighurst Secondary Plan) land be if the school does not go on the location proposed in the
development plan. The proposed development plan contains 318 homes which are satisfied without the
school land and if the school is located elsewhere would this area merge with the adjacent park, result
in more residences or become available for commercial?
I have questions related to the EPA lands as defined in the development plan. The Environmental
Protection areas defined in the Craighurst Secondary Plan seem to be larger than the EPA boundaries
incorporated into the development plan. How were the EPA areas defined by the township to the
developer? Did the developer choose based on the Craighurst Secondary Plan or did the developer use
theirjudgement? I would like to note that a good portion of the proposed development land is part of
the Oro Moraine (Site 3a) and it is imperative to ensure the natural habitat in the area can continue to
thrive and survive the impact to the environment the development would cause.
The Oro Medonte Official Plan details the significance of the Oro Moraine as follows,
"The Oro Moraine is considered to be the heart of the natural heritage system in Oro Medonte.
The Oro Moraine is the site of the following natural heritage features:
a) wetlands;
b) Areas of Natural and Scientific Interest;
c) woodlands
d) stream corridors;
e) recharge areas;
f) discharge areas."
I understand there is an environmental assessment required as part of the development application
process but would this include a confirmation of the EPA boundaries as defined in the Craighurst
Secondary Plan? I would like to get a better understanding of the EPA boundaries and suggest that a
review of proposed development plan to confirm the EPA areas intended in the secondary plan are
respected would be prudent.
Also providing an impact to the Oro Moraine habitat is the inclusion of the communal septic in the plan
I am aware that there is a "Horseshoe Craighurst Corridor Water, Wastewater and Transportation
Master Plan" being developed and would like to know if the township is asking the proposed
development to align with this and if so are the communal septic required?
With respect of the communal septic and EPA it appears to me that there may be issues with their
proximity to EPA land based on the setbacks defined in the Oro Medonte Bylaws.
1 question that the communal septic near EPA land and so close to a major ground water
recharge/discharge area provided by the Oro Moraine is environmentally sensitive and meets the need
of this present and future resident.
I reference the Craighurst Secondary Plan objective "18.2.7.1 Goal Ensure that all infrastructure,
including sanitary sewers, water distribution and storm water management facilities and roads meet the
needs of present and future residents and businesses in an efficient, environmentally sensitive, cost
effective and timely manner.".
Also, of significant concern to me regarding Communal Septic Block 327 is the proximity to the water
well on my adjacent property. This communal septic as shown is within 150 feet of my well and along
with the possibility of contaminating my well water I also would have issue with any odour that would
impair the enjoyment of my land caused by the communal septic such as from any venting.
It's not clear from the information I have how the storm sewers will be handled but I would expect that
the creek running through the property will not be part of any design for that. I know there is a
Preliminary Engineering Report, that I would like arrange to come to the township office to review, that
would contain a hydrology report that should have this information.
One final comment for now, as I will no doubt have additional as more information is reviewed, is
related to the proposed Swim Pond. Will the existing stream be impacted by the pond or left to its
natural state/course?
Thank you for consideration of my questions and I look forward to your responses.

Re: 2003 -SUB -01 &2018-ZBA-02 (Craighurst Land Corp.)
As abutting land owners, the following are our comments regarding the proposed Zoning
By -Law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision:
ZONING BY-LAW AMENDMENT COMMENTS
The A/RU zone should be retained along the north side of the subject lands or be re-
zoned to open space. This would provide a buffer between the residential component of
the proposed subdivision and my farm to the north. The fence row and trees should be
retained on this boundary, and the land in the proposed subdivision adjacentto this
boundary could be better utilized by zoning itfor parkland and a school site. This area is
level and more suitable for sports fields and a school site. Locating these amenities in this
area support the Simcoe County District School Board's vision of promoting safe walking
or cycling to attend school.
The institutional zone that is currently proposed for the school site is in question as we
understand there has been significant discussion and consideration given to alternate sites
in the township. The Simcoe County District School Board has already commented that the
current proposed site in the plan of subdivision is too small and not appropriately located.
The proposed park block and school block should be retained or rezoned for future
commercial uses as it fronts on the Horseshoe Valley Road is abutting existing commercial
uses in the Craighurst core area.
The communal septic and wastewater management areas shown on the proposed plan
should be removed. It is not clear what zoning is proposed forthis use. The Craighurst
Secondary Plan clearly calls for "full municipally owned water and wastewater treatment
systems." The proposed Zoning Bylaw Amendment with regard to this infrastructure does
not conform to the Official Plan for Craighurst. It is unclear what "communal sewage/
wastewater' means in terms of ownership, management and maintenance in both the
short-term and long-term. As the site is on the Oro Morraine and contains two cold water
streams, the proposed water and wastewater systems potentially pose an environmental
concern.
It is unclear if Block 342, 343 and 344 "Other Lands Owned By Applicant" is being
considered for rezoning at this time and if so, rezoning to what? Of particular interest is
Block 343 as it is a large block of land abutting my property.
We are in full agreement with the proposed 30 metre set backs from watercourses. This
land and these cold water streams are on the Oro Morraine and have environmental
significance. This parcel of land, as well as our farm and the Copeland Forest lands
provide important wildlife habitat and wildlife corridors. We enjoy and have witnessed an
abundance and variety of deer, wild turkeys, birds, etc. on the proposed subdivision lands.
DRAFT PLAN OF SUBDIVISION COMMENTS:
The proposed draft plan of subdivision is premature given that the Horseshoe-Craighurst
water and wastewater servicing plan has not been completed. A comprehensive
infrastructure plan should be done for the whole secondary plan area.
The 42 residential lots (1 to 42) shown on the draft plan abut my existing agricultural field
which is actively farmed as part of my farming operation. There is no buffering shown on
the plan -this is unacceptable! Normal farming practices include seasonal noise, dust and
odour. Given the current draft plan, 42 individual property owners could potentially be
impacted by my farming practices, however of greater concern is the impact they could
potentially have on me. This includes the potential for illegal dumping of yard waste and
other garbage on my property, building and construction waste, increased trespassing
issues, and opposition to normal farm practices. These 42 residential lots shown on the
proposed plan should be removed or at the very least set back on the subject lands to
comply with Minimum Distance Separation requirements for agriculture, in the event of a
future livestock barn on our farm site. While I currently do not have a livestock barn on this
property, a residential re -zoning on the subject property will impact future agricultural uses
and options. Appropriate set backs, buffering and fencing need to be included.
Maintenance and expansion of trees and shrubs should be indicated on the proposed
Environmentally Protected lands. The existing on-line pond located near the northwest
corner of the property should be removed and appropriate trees and shrubs planted to
naturalize and rehabilitate the stream bank.
The proposed plan does not show sidewalks or connections to the Craighurst core area for
pedestrians or cyclists. It is anticipated that services and amenities such as the grocery
store, LCBO outlet, personal services, restaurants, shops and church ,located in the core
area need to be accessible by pedestrian walkways and cycling paths. Reducing the
impact of cars and traffic should be considered in this plan.
As this proposed plan is projecting to bring approximately 1000 new residents and 318
new home owners and a school, it is significantly larger in scale and scope when
compared to the existing and surrounding communities. Therefore careful attention and
diligence is required as the potential impact on the rural character, farm community and
the environment will be significant.
Thank you for your careful consideration of our comments. As our family has lived here for
almost 200 years, we have been committed to this community for generations. We have a
sincere and heartfelt interest in the future of our farm and the Craighurst community.
We wish to be notified of any future meetings relating to this proposal and to be notified
of the decision of the Township of Oro-Medonte in respect to the proposed Zoning By-law
Amendment and/or proposed Draft Plan of Subdivision.
Respectfully yours,

5b) Additional correspondence received
Public Meeting July 19 2018 re Proposed draft plan of subdivision and amendment to the zoning
by-law to the township of Oro-Medonte 2003 - SUB -01 & 2018 ZBA-02 (Craighurst Land Corp.)
To the Secretary -Treasurer, The Corporation of the Township of Oro-Medonte
Zoning:
It is not wise to remove land from Agricultural zoning, and change the zoning to Residential,
Institutional and Open space. Oro-Medonte must do careful, coherent planning, with
preservation of farmland as a priority. Why re -zone to "Open spaces" when there is a park
across the street? Why rezone to " Institutional' when there is a school planned on line 4 and
Horseshoe Valley Road? And why not put on the map where exactly these zones will be? The
submission is not at all clear in regards to where the zoning is.
Rezoning to residential from agricultural takes farmland out of production. As well new
pressures are unleashed. The Draft Plan of Subdivision will abut a working farm. Putting 318
homes into close proximity to a farm could result in excessive noise, trespass issues, soil
compaction, general activity not suited to a farm community. When the farmer trundles his huge
manure spreader onto the fields in the spring, and kicks up dust and makes noise and smells,
the 318 homes will all be unhappy. When the combine harvester is working late into the night
the neighbours will have to deal with that. Living beside a farm is unique.
Plan of Subdivision:
When the County was re -structured, Craighurst was taken from a four township village to a one
township community. The thinking was that the piecemeal planning from Flos, Medonte, Vespra
and Oro would be much improved when only one municipality was involved.
What this proposed Plan of Subdivision, from Craighurst Land Corp. seems to be, is more
piecemeal planning, Comprehensive, thoughtful, professional, common sense planning is
paramount for Oro-Medonte. And that should start here, in Craighurst, the Gateway to Oro-
Medonte.
The establishment of the Craighurst Secondary Plan in 2009 was a good step.1 have read the
Craighurst Secondary Plan, and I have read the Proposal from Craighurst Land Corporation.
There is some resemblance between the two. But not much.
Craighurst Secondary Plan (CSP) has lots of chapters and verses, and it states the shape and
pattern that any Craighurst development will take. Some things are vague, but that said, there
are rules laid down that Craighurst Land Corp. has ignored.
CSP - C18.4.1.3 Housing mix etc "No more than 75% of all new dwellings shall be single
detached dwellings. The remainder shall be made up of a combination of other dwelling types."
Craighurst Land Corp. has a plan for 318 single detached residential lots. There should only be
75% singles„ which would be 228 lots.
RECEI it L
JUL 18 2018
ORO-MEDONTE
CSP - C18.8 Servicing "All new development within Craighurst Secondary Plan Area shall be
serviced by municipal water and sewer services and stormwater management facilities". As
well, the County of Simcoe refers repeatedly to "full municipal services" as they approve a Tim
Horton restaurant for the village of Craighurst. The County says that "The Township is currently
developing a Horseshoe-Craighurst Master Servicing Plan that, once implemented, would
provide Craighurst with full municipal water, sewage and stormwater services"
Craighurst Land Corp. has communal septic beds, a pumping station, and a well in the Draft
Plan of Subdivision. These are not "full municipal services". These are partial services. Please
absolutely insist on the former.
CSP C 18.7.2 Pedestrian and Cycling Routes and Facilities. The Township wants to encourage
walking, barrier free walking, safe walking. That used to be called sidewalks.
Craighurst Land Corp. does not appear to have sidewalks as part of the plan. Picture the folks
in Sugarbush as they walk on the road, dodging the cars. Picture Mill Street in Hillsdale and the
folks there walking safely on sidewalks. Planning, planning.
Craighurst Secondary Plan speaks loftily of Urban design and streetscape guidelines.
(C18.4.2.6) the CSP will "promote development that is based on good design principles..., will
encourage high quality design..., will ensure high quality design is employed in the development
of all public works. Further policies in C 18 5.3 set an even higher goal for the village of
Craighurst's expansion.
Craighurst Land Corp. does not seem to have engaged top notch architects like Frank Gehry or
Douglas Cardinal. Nor has the Township produced a manual for "good design principles,... high
quality design..." as mentioned rather vaguely in C 18.5 Urban Design. Both parties need to
clarify.
The already existing pond, on the Penetanguishene Road, needs to be decommissioned. It is
an "in-line" pond, not allowed today. It should have the dam removed, and be let return to the
small cold stream status it used to have. The cold water stream further back in the property
also needs protecting. Trout are in both these streams. Plans of Subdivision don't always co-
exist with cold water streams. Please keep the setbacks that are set out in the Plan, and even
enhance them further, given that there should be 90 fewer homes, as explained above.
A more troublesome matter is the first registered Plan of Subdivision, from the 1800's, which is
still on the records, and which seems to have been forgotten or ignored. These old plans are
still in force. Craighurst Land Corp. cannot superimpose their ideas until the first plan is dealt
with. (There is another old old plan of Subdivision, Plan #1, on the Penetanguishene Road, at
the Kempenfelt Bay end, much like the ancient Craighurst Plan.) How is the Township going
to sort this out?
Thanks you for the opportunity to comment on the Proposal that will quadruple the size of the
village I live in. AX
