Mayor Neil CRAIG and Council
"'
I am writing you to request permission to utilize the beautiful Lake
Country Oro-Medonte Railtrail for equestrians.
My husband and I moved to Oro-Medonte Township with out 2-% year
old daughter in June 2001. After careful planning and research, Oro-
Medonte was and still is the area we wanted to raise our daughter in,
because of Oro-Medonte's beauty and commitment to recreational
activities that promote a healthy and happy family environment.
We are happy to live so close to the trail. We use the trail as a family
now for walking our dogs and for snowmobiling. I would like to request
permission to add this magnificent, beautiful trail to the list of others for
equestrians. So my family and other families can enjoy yet another
aspect of the trail.
I have over 30 years experience with horses. I have ridden on trails in
Peel Region (Caledon) Perth County and Huron County and since moving
here, I have been blessed with hours of enjoyment and stress relief, using
trails in Simcoe County such as the Uhthoff Trail, The Copeland Forest
Resources Management area and the Simcoe County Forests. This area
has the most beautiful breath taking views of nature I have ever seen. I
have assisted with trail patrols on the Uhthoff Trail with Patrol Members,
Debbie Sammit and Carol Mcisaac (President of the Trail Riders
Association of Ontario and Uhthoff Trail committee member). I am well
versed in trail etiquette for equestrians using trails.
My proposal to the Township of Oro-Medonte would include giving the
Railtrail a contact person on their committee to answer any questions, or
concerns of other trail members including equestrians, I would also be
willing to assist with educational aspects involving the horses.
I would of course, by using this trail, be able to assist the Township of
Oro-Medonte to maintain its versatility and beauty and possibly
preventing mischief and misuse.
-1-
-2-
To make our trail as safe as possible, while equestrians are using this
trail, I would be willing to assist the township by designing a written
information board on do's and don'ts when approaching the horses. I
feel this would make everyone more comfortable around these' animals,
education through experience and guidance.
As a fmal comment: To gain access to this beautiful trail for equestrians,
would only benefit another group of NATURE LOVERS, therefore making
the trail use more versatile and well used. Which is why it was developed
in the first place wasn't it?
Respectfully submitted, awaiting your speedy response, the best time of
the year to ride (the fall no bugs!!!), is fast approaching. Feel free to
contact me at any time.
P.S. My daughter, Breanna, rides my elderly gelding of 30 years, who has
been my mount for the past 29 years.

3.0 PROPERTIES & COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
i) R. Hough provided the Commission members with an update as to UKCAN II
Incorporated's development progress. It was reviewed that UKCAN II
Incorporated applied to the Township of Oro-Medonte Committee of Adjustments
to merge Lots 3 and 4 in order to create a building envelope suitable for a 33,000
square foot hangar. Conditional approval was granted subsequent to UKCAN II
Incorporated providing proof of ownership of Lot 4. R. Hough further reported
that the only unresolved issue was that of the required number of car-parking
spaces. L. Leach indicated that a recent meeting attended by Pete Waters, the
Township CAO as well as the Township planning consultant to discuss the
required number of parking spaces was held. L. Leach further suggested that
subsequent to a review of various airports with similar han~lar sizes, the
Township's zoning by-law overstates car-parking requirements. W. Dickie
commented that the Township of Oro-Medonte governs the sold commercial lots
as well as the zoning requirements and that the Commission should create a
payment in lieu of space sum for the Township's consideration. Subsequent to
reviewing the payment in lieu of space fees for both the Cities of Barrie and
Orillia as well an estimated parking lot construction cost based on the airport's
costs analysis, the following motion was passed.
MOTION: Moved by W. Gardy, seconded by F. Smith.

Township of Oro-Medonte, of this motion.
ii) S. Trotter suggested that the Commission request that the Township of Oro-
Medonte include the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission as a

Simcoe Regional Airport Commission as a commenting
agency forming part of the site plan control process, as it

Hi) M. Drumm distributed Staff Report 2003-ACSR-03. In order to complete the
purchase transaction for the hangar previously owned by Zlin Aerospace Corp
2
and engaged in a land lease agreement with the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport,
UKCAN II Incorporated required the confirmation of various items.
The three documents, an Estoppel Certificate, a Lease Amending Agreement
and a Consent Agreement provided confirmation of the terms and conditions
contained within the Land Lease Agreement between Zlin Aerospace Corp and
the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport Commission. The documents further updated
the Land Lease Agreement in accordance with the new Lake Simcoe Regional
Airport Agreement (formally Joint Venture Agreement). The airport's solicitor, Jim
Mcintosh of Burgar, Rowe reviewed all three documents and confirmed that the
documents are acceptable for execution by the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport
Commission.
In considering the time lapses between the scheduled monthly Commission
meetings, a telephone poll was conducted to maintain the efficient and
successful outcome of the hangar purchase transaction. A general consensus to
execute the three documents was reached when the airport manager was
successful in polling 8 of the 9 Commission members.

Directors for all of their support overthe years and advised that he enjoyed working with
each and every one of them.

E OF THE WHOLE that
Whereas the Progressive Conservative campaign document, "The Road Ahead" has been released
and contains the proposal to extend the "Taxpayer Protection Act" to municipal property taxes;
And whereas the proposal requires a referendum to be held in order to garner elector support for
property tax increases;
And whereas the downloading of services by the Provincial Government since 1998 has virtually
guaranteed the need for greater property taxes to support former Provincial services;
And whereas the Township of Oro-Medonte has accepted financial and management responsibility for
these services;
And whereas Provincial policies and standards for these services have increased the associated costs
of providing these services;
And whereas any deterioration of economic conditions in Ontario will require property tax increases to
support income re-distribution programs funded by the property tax base, including Ontario Works,
Ontario Disability Support Programme and Social Housing;
And whereas the Province has put in place a regime of benchmarking, public reporting of municipal
performance and public notice of municipal budget changes;
And whereas municipal government is already the most accountable and accessible level of
government facing the electorate on a scheduled, three year basis, unlike either the Federal or
Provincial levels;
And whereas the creation of so-called "wedge issues" may be good for campaign platforms, the
proposal of budget-by-referendum essentially reduces the role of duly elected officials at the local level
- the level which Federal and Provincial officials acknowledge as the most effective form of government
service;
And whereas "The Road Ahead" does not quantify or even estimate the costs of annual referenda in
the 447 municipalities of Ontario;
Now therefore the Council of the Township of Oro-Medonte respectfully requests that the Ontario
Progressive Conservative Party withdraw from its recently announced campaign platform the initiative
which would legislate a referendum should a municipally wish to increase property tax rates;
And further that this resolution be circulated to the Premier, the M.P.P., A.M.O, L.U.M.C.O and the
Municipalities of Simcoe County.

NVCA Highlights
Summer 2003
Message from the Chair - Chris Carrier
"The NVCA vision of "Conserving our Healthy Waters" requires a comprehensive
watershed management approach, with the full support of all
watershed municipalities, agencies and residents. "
Highlights from the C.A.O. and Staff:
i) Wayne Wilson, C.A.O. (ext. 225) wwilson@nvca.on.ca
. West Nile Virus
The NVCA has produced a West Nile Virus (WNV) newsletter. The newsletter highlights information on the importance of
wetlands, facts about mosquitoes and frequently asked questions. Two hundred newsletters were sent to each of the
watershed municipalities and NVCA partners. Our newsletter can be found on the NVCA website at www.nvca.on.ca.
This summer, we are assisting WNV researchers from the Simcoe County District Health Unit by providing the use our
laboratory in the John L. Jose Environmental Learning Centre for their mosquito species identification. Inspectors have
placed a mosquito trap at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation. For information contact www.simcoehealth.orq or call the
Health Connection Line at 1-877-721-7520
· Watershed-Based Pilot Projects
Conservation Ontario partnered with Ontario Ministries of the Environment and Natural Resources to develop five pilot
projects that explore innovative approaches to watershed management. The five projects included: Watershed
Reporting: Improving Access to Information; Watershed Economic Incentives through Phosphorous Trading and Water
Quality; A Framework for Local Water Use Decision-Making on a Watershed Basis; Web-Based Communications for
Watershed Information Sharing; Watershed Management in Ontario: Lesson Learned & Best Practices. The pilot
projects document watershed-based best management practices with particular emphasis on water quality protection,
water resource sustainability, and facilitating public and stakeholder involvement for better watershed stewardship.
Full reports are available at www.conservation-ontario.on.ca
· Oro-Medonte Council Votes to Expand NVCA Services
On June 13th, at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation, the NVCA full authority members, and Oro-Medonte Township
confirmed by resolution, the expansion of the NVCA services to that portion of Oro-Medonte not currently covered by a
conservation authority. This partnership will assist Oro-Medonte in meeting their "Environment First" philosophy, by
providing technical and professional support to address the increasing growth & development pressures. The expansion
will be effective September 1, 2003.
· Watershed-Based Source Water Protection Report Released
As part of its commitment to safeguard Ontario's drinking water, the provincial government recently released the final
report of the Advisory Committee on Watershed-Based Source Protection Planning. The Committee's report, "Protecting
Ontario's Drinking Water: Toward a Watershed-Based Source Protection Planning FrameworK' released on April 21 ,
2003 makes 55 recommendations on how to protect the province's surface and groundwater resources that provide
drinking water to Ontario's 11 million residents. The Advisory Committee clearly states that this is best done on a
watershed basis using source protection as the first barrier approach to preventing pollution from contaminating the
province's drinking water. Source protection ensures not only safe drinking water and a healthy environment; it is also
the most cost effective and efficient approach to take. The NVCA fully supports public consultation on the report's
recommendations. The NVCA would be pleased to meet with municipal councils to discuss the proposed Source Water
Protection Planning Framework.

planning for the 502-acre Tiffin Conservation Area. Tiffin is a productive mixture of wetlands, forests, open meadows,
ancient lake beds, glacial shorelines, uplands and rich valley lands of Bear Creek. Tiffin provides protection for these
features, but at the same time serves as a living example of conservation of natural resources. The Tiffin Conservation
Area is home to the John L. Jose Environmental Learning Centre and the new NVCA administration office called the
John Hix Conservation Administration Centre. The survey can be found on the NVCA website. Please provide your
comments on line at www.nvca.on.ca.

THE PROPOSAL
The applicant has applied for consent to convey an easement to facilitate stormwater drainage
from a proposed commercial self storage operation to the Bass Line drainage ditch.
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation - Rural Settlement Area
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Residential One (R1) Zone
Previous Applications - The applicant has a concurrent application for Site Plan under review by
the Township. It is understood the application has been reviewed by the Township's engineer as
well as the Site Plan Review Committee.
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)
Simcoe County
Municipal Works and Roads- Drainage problems possible at Bass Line.
Building Department- The Township Building Dept has reviewed this application and note the
proposal appears to meet the minimum standards.
Fire Department
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
BACKGROUND
The objective of the applicant, 1500494 Ontario Inc (Hans Meyer), is to develop a commercial self
storage business on 8980 Highway 12. However prior to obtaining a building permit, the applicant
is required to enter into a Site Plan Agreement with the Township, which includes the provision of
a stormwater management plan. In order to fulfill the proposed stormwater design, the developer
has entered into an agreement with an adjacent landowner, (the applicant Kanis), to establish an
easement over their lands for the purpose of creating a drainage swale to the Bass Line roadside
drainage Ditch.
The proposed easement would have a width of 3.0 metres (9.8 feet) and a length of about 75
metres (246 feet), essentially acting as a conduit between the north-west corner of the self-
storage business and the Bass Line drainage ditch.
OFFICIAL PLAN
The Rural Settlement Area policies are silent with respect to the conveyance of easements for
utility purposes.
ANAL YSIS
\ :Jc
This application is a component of the technical process of fulfilling a site plan agreement with the
Township of Oro-Medonte. This is a process that is guided by Section 41 of the Planning Act and
is under the authority of Council and its delegated technical staff.
In reviewing this application it is suggested that Committee primarily satisfy itself that the location
of the easement is appropriate and represents good planning. Based on a cursory analysis of the
site plans it appears the easement will be isolated and located in an area of the applicant's lands
which is appropriate for the use.
Based on discussions with Township staff, the Township's engineer and the applicant's engineer,
the site plan approval is close to being finalized with no major issues outstanding. On this basis it
will be recommended that Committee approve the proposed easement on condition that the site
plan agreement be executed between the Township and Mr. Meyer.
CONCLUSION
1. The proposed easement appears to be located in a logical and appropriate area.
2. The proposed easement is dependant upon the Township entering into a site plan
agreement with the owner of the commercial business.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application B-20/03 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan of the subject lands prepared by an Ontario Land
Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary-Treasurer;
2. That the applicant prepare and submit 3 original copies of the deeds for the parcel(s)
severed, one copy to be retained by the Municipality;
3. That a Site Plan Agreement between the Township and the owner of 8980 Highway 12
be executed; and,
4. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from
the date of the giving of this notice as noted below.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
"
Background
The applicant proposes to build a second storey deck with a total floor area of about 49.05
m2 (528 ft\ partially within the required shoreline setback from Lake Simcoe.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
Section 010.1 of the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives for the shoreline
designation.
a) To maintain the existing character of this predominantly residential area;
b) To protect the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate
shoreline; and,
\ (\",
i vl\-.-
c) To ensure that existing development is appropriately serviced with water
and sewer services.
The applicant's proposal does not appear to offend these principles given that the proposed deck
is a reasonable expansion to an existing dwelling. On this basis the proposal is considered to
conform with the intent of the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The Zoning By-law requires that no building or structure shall be located within 20 metres (65.6
feet) of the average high water mark of lake Simcoe to protect the natural features and the
integrity of the shoreline. Given the relatively modest addition and the fact that the application will
not require the removal of vegetation the proposed variance should not adversely impact the
character of the shoreline. On this basis the proposal is considered to conform with the general
intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The proposed deck is considered to be an appropriate and desirable expansion to the existing
dwelling unit.
Is the variance minor?
On the basis that the proposal is a reasonable expansion and given that the deck will not
adversely affect the character of the shoreline area, the proposed variance is considered to be
minor.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The proposed variance generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATION
If Committee is satisfied that the application is appropriate, it is recommended that Committee
approve application A-26/03, subject to the following conditions:
1. That an Ontario land Surveyor provide verification to the Township of compliance with the
Committee's decision by 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of
the foundation by way of survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario land Surveyor.
2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application, as
submitted; and,
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official
only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the
Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The applicant proposes to build 3 detached residential dwellings to be used as model hDmes or
sales offices within a draft approved subdivision known as Diamond Valley Estates.
The homes are proposed to be built on Lots 97, 122 and 127 of the subdivision which was draft
approved in 1992 and subsequently revised in 1994. In total the subdivision has 136 lots.
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The subject lots have been placed in the Residential designation which is referred to as the
Sugarbush Node in the Township Official Plan. Specific policies apply to Draft Plan 43T -93019
which appear to have been carried over from the previous Township of Oro Official Plan. These
policies generally relate to the servicing and overall development of the subdivision and do not
provide Committee with specific direction for this application.
\ de-
Based on discussions with the Manager of Public Works, who is currently administering the
development agreement for Diamond Valley, it is clear that the developers have made
considerable progress in satisfying conditions of draft approval as required by the Official Plan.
Notably, the Township recently approved the engineered drawings for the subdivision. Given that
the primary intent of the Plan is to ensure technical matters of draft approval are fulfilled, it is
submitted that the proposed variance would not offend the intent of the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The subject lands have been placed in an R1 Hold Zone which means that development cannot
proceed until Council has "lifted" the Hold by formal resolution. Although the purpose of the Hold
is to prevent development until all applicable agreements and legal issues have been finalized, it
would be reasonable to provide some flexibility for the purpose of allowing the construction of
model homes.
The other element to this variance is that the developer seeks to build three homes instead of
one, which is normally permitted by Zoning By-law 97-95. Given that the overall subdivision has
136 lots, it is submitted that three model homes for such a large subdivision is reasonable and in
keeping with the intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
Given that the developers objective is to "sell" a community or housing choice, model homes are
typically developed with a high degree of detail and landscaping. Furthermore, in accordance with
normal Township policy, the developer will be required to prepare an engineered lot grading plan
prior to the issuance of a building permit. On this basis it is suggested that the proposed variance
will provide for the appropriate and desirable development of the subject lots.
Is the variance minor?
The construction of model homes for sales purposes is common in new plans of subdivision. On
this basis and on the basis that the proposal is to develop only 3 lots for model home purposes, it
is suggested that the proposed variance is minor.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The requested variance is in keeping with the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATION
If Committee is satisfied that the application is appropriate, it is recommended that Committee
approve application A-27/03, subject to the following conditions:
1. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an engineered grading plan is submitted which
provides verification to the Township of compliance with applicable yard and setback
requirements by: 1) pinning the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the
foundation by way of survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor;
2. That this variance provides relief from the Holding symbol currently in place on the lands in
that building permits for model homes to be built on Lots 97, 122 and 127 may be issued
prior to the removal of the Hold; and,
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building Official
only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for within the
Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13.

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
On July 4, 2003, the Township issued a building permit for the dwelling that is currently under
construction on the subject property. It is understood that after the foundation was poured it was
determined that the dwelling will encroach into the minimum interior and front yard setbacks as
established in Zoning By-law 97-95. Furthermore, because of the steep slope at the rear of the
lot, relief is also required for the dwelling to be located closer than the minimum allowable
provision stated in the Zoning By-law.
The applicants require the requested relief noted above given that the proposed house is
encroaching into these setbacks.
\')c-\~
The Four Tests of the Minor Variance
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Rural Residential and Rural. The primary function of the Rural
Residential designation is to recognize existing estate, country estate and chalet residential
developments in the Township. It is suggested that the applicant's proposed dwelling is generally
in keeping with the character of the Rural Residential designation and therefore the requested
variance is deemed to conform with the Official Plan
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of maintaining interior side yards in the Rural Residential (RUR) Zone is to
maintain suitable setbacks between residential dwellings in the interest of privacy and to protect
the character of the residential community.
Based on a site inspection, the requested interior side yard of 7.7 metres and front yard setback
of 14 metres is considered to be a reasonable side yard and front yard viewed in the context of
the surrounding area. As well many lots located in the Horseshoe Valley area are built on or near
steep slopes. On this basis the variances to the side yard, front yard and from the slope is
deemed to conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The proposed dwelling will not result in the over-development of the subject lot, and may
complement existing development in the community. On this basis the proposal is considered
appropriate for the desirable development of the subject lot.
Is the variance minor?
The proposed variances can be characterized as minor reductions to the yard setbacks and slope
requirements as they will not compromise the character of the existing rural community.
CONCLUSIONS
1 . The proposed variances are deemed to meet the four tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee grant minor variance A-28/03, subject to the following
conditions:
1. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an Ontario Land Surveyor provide
verification to the Township of compliance with the Committee's decision by 1) pinning
the footing and 2) verifying in writing prior to pouring of the foundation by way of
survey/real property report prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor;
2. That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application, as
submitted;
3. That the appropriate building permit be obtained from the Township's Chief Building
Official only after the Committee's decision becomes final and binding, as provided for
within the Planning Act R.S.O. 1990, c.P. 13; and,
4. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Re: Ukrainian Cottager's Association -Water Treatment
Dear Ms. Pennycook:
Following a meeting with Mr. Keith Matheson, it was suggested our Association write to
you with our request regarding the water station that serves homes in the Ukrainian Village in
Hawkestone. Recently, we have been required to upgrade our system to comply with the Ministry
of Environment standards. As such, we have installed a chlorination system.
1. At this time, our Association would like the Township to consider providing the
monitoring services required to comply with the Ministry of Environment standards. We
understand that the Township has licensed inspectors on staff who are currently managing the
various municipal systems. If the Township is interested in providing this service we would
appreciate knowing the costs that would be involved and whether the Township would consider
applying this costs to the tax bills of the residents involved.
2. We have also agreed to provide Mr. Matheson with a copy of our Engineer's Report and
Certificate of Approval for his inspection. This is being done in order to continue discussions
regarding the possibility of the Township taking over complete control of this water system in the
future. Therefore, we ask that this also be considered by Township staff and that we continue
negotiations with the Township towards this goal.
At the present time, we are required to collect fees from those residential properties that
are serviced by the Ukrainian Cottager's Association water supply. Since we have no legal
authority to collect delinquent accounts it is felt that a Municipally run system may solve this and
other related issues.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. I look forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. McDonald:
Re: GLL 22-209 - Proposed Amendment to the Township Official Plan and County of
Simcoe Official Plan - Ucci Development, Part of Lots 27 and 28, Concession V,
Township of' Oro.Medonte
On August 7,2003 a meeting was held among planning staff of the County of Simcoe and their
peer reviewer and the proponent and his representatives to discuss the findings of the SAAR
Environmental peer review (dated July 17,2003) of the Gartner Lee Limited (GLL)
Environmental Impact St1Jdy (May 2002) prepared in support of the above-noted application.
The meeting was held at the offices of the Coumy of Simcoe and the folJawing individuals were
in attendance:
· Ian Bender, Director of Planning, County of Simcoe
· Gail White, Planner, County of Simcoe
· Linda Sober, SAAR Environmental (ecological consultant on behalf of the
County)
· Bryan Davidson, Ucci Consolidated Companies Inc. (landowner)
· Richard Jones, Jones Consulting (planning consultant on behalf of
proponent)
· Donald Fraser, Gartner Lee Limited (ecological consultant on behalf of
proponent)
The purpose of the meeting wa..~ to review the findings of the SAAR peer review of GLL's EIS, to
identify points of agreement between the County and the proponent, and to reach a consensus as
to future study requirements. Given that this application is being pre~:ented to the Towm;hip's
Planning Advisory Committee and Council on August 18t1i and 21'\ r;;J\pective]y, the above
parties thought it would be prudent to provide you with a brief synopsis of what we have agreed
to, as wen as a course of action that wiJJ aIJow us to move forward on the County's and possibly
the Township'$ issues.

Points of Discussion
]. There was recognition that the environmental work carried out to date has been done in
$uppon of an OPA, not a site plan, and thereforB the EJS which was submitted does not
contain specific details regarding such things as locations of residential units, final golf
course layout (cspeciaJJy the extent of clearing required to accommodate the fairways) and
associated impacts which wiJI need to be considered at a futurt~ date. To this end, an
parties recognize that the County, Township and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority will alJ have a further opportunity to ensure that their respective
environmental stundards are met through subsequent stages of the planning approval
process.
2. Since the submission of the EIS, the proponent has replaced the golf course architect on his
con1;ultant team. As a result, the current development concept will be re-examined in light
of the peel' review comments and revised accordingly.
3. There was discussion that the plan would continue to respect the significant woodlands
identified in the OMS Unit of the Natural Heritage System for Simcoe County and it was
also acknowledged that additional consideration would be given to the pre,servation of and
the mitigation of any possible negative impacts of the development on the small swamp
thicket communities/wetlands (amphibian breeding habitat), oIl-site and forest interior
habitat as discussed in the County peer review report.
4. 11 was also discussed that the recommended 15 m-wide buffer adjacent to each side of the
watercourse would be expanded to 20 m to accommodate the habitat requirements of a rare
dragonfly. This line wiIJ be staked in the field by Ganner Lee and SAAR Environmental.
Addition,,] Stud v ReQuirement.~
There are three key is!!'ues raised in the County'!!, peer review that require further investigation by
the proponent's environmental consultant:
I. Assessment of the impacts of the proposed undertaking at a more regional scale, Le., within
the context of the entire Greenlands Unit (OM8 - Northwest Lake Simcoe). This would
involve further consideration of the site's contribution to wildlife/interior forest habitat and
corridor function, evaluating the wetlands, as well as quantifying the spatial extent of
Greenland loss and reduction in function. The cumulative effects of development on
Greenlands Unit OM8 win also be examined further.

Dear Mayor Craig and Council:
HE: HILLWAY EQUIPMENT GRAVEL PIT
FILE NO. 017y16
I am the solicitor for Hillway Equipment Ltd, in the matter of an appeal of the zoning by-law
amendment and licence application on Part Lots 8 and 9 in Concessions 12 and 13 ofOro.
The August 19,2003 draft Official Plan Amendment No. 16 now contains a revision to which we
strongly object.
The proposed designation of the lands has been revised from Mineral Aggregate Resource Area -
Potential as in all previous drafts of the OP A 16 and as presented at the June 3, 2003 Public
Meeting, to Agricultural Area.
The applications for rezoning and licensing are at the Ontario Municipal Board based 011 the
approved Mineral Aggregate Resource designation and the existing MAR2 - Mmeral Aggregate
Resource Two Zone. We have established confonnity with the designations and policies except
that the suitability of the proposed lih Line haul route and effect on residences in the area has
not been accepted by Municipality.
We expect that the Board Hearing will be held and the Zoning By-law and licensed approved
based on the merit ofthe applications.
There has been no justification presented for the removal of the largest and most significant area
of Mineral Aggregate Resource. from designation as Mineral Aggregate Resources - Potential.
These lands "are deemed appropriate for future extractions, provided all of the policies of this
section of the Plan can be met" as the draft OPA states.

Removing these lands now is unfair and flies in the face of the established mineral aggregate
resource.
The removal of the designation would mean that should a private driveway to the 13th Line or
County Road 11 be secured then an Official Plan Amendment, new public meeting, adoption and
Simcoe County Approval would be required. That is offensive to my client given the effort and
time he has expended to date on the matter. .
We respectfully request the removal of the Mapping Change as noted in Meridian Report item
4.2.1 prior to adoption of the By-law.

Attention: Marilyn Penny cook, Clerk
Dear Mayor and Counci1lors:
Re: Oro Medonte Ofticial Plan
On Tuesday, August 19,2003 our Consultants, Skelton, Bromwell and Associates received a
copy of the report prepared by Meridian on the proposed OP A, the text of the OP A and
Schedules A 1, A2 and A3.
We understand the OP A w111 be considered by Council on August 21, 2003. Obvioulsy there
is insufficient time and notice to review the documents or prepare a response for
consideration by council before a vote is taken as we would have chosen to do.
We did briefly review the Report to Council Draft OP A 16 and it is apparent that our
previous comments have not been accepted and incorporated into the documents. We
continue to believe that OP A 16 does not have regard to the PPS in a number of areas and
therefore we cannot accept the document as written.
OUT comments have be~n clear and consistent since APAO's early involvement with the
Steering Committee. We have given considerable time and resources to participate in this
process, yet our comments continue to be disregarded. Weare disappointed to see that
COnID1ents fTom the MNR are also disregarded.

Dear Mr. McDonald:
Re: Christian Horizons
Township ofOro-Medonte Official Plan Review
Your file No. 2360
This letter follows my last note of 14 August 2003.
My client is quite pleased, generally speaking, with respect to how the proposed Official
Plan amendments appear to meet the required criteria on the ground, if I may speak in such
terms. On behalf of my client, I thank you.
r
Consequently, your Jproposed amendments are received in an open and thankful frame of
mind. My client, as a representative of some of your Township residents, wants to be a co-
operative resident and a good neighbour and property owner.
A couple of specific additional comments:
My client mentioned that in quite a few municipalities the :m.inlinum distance separation of
homes for residential care is 500 metres. 1 admit sometimes this distance is somewhat more~
but I have never seen it at more than 1,000 metres. Although this next point does not
currently apply to the Township ofOro-Medonte: the 1,000 metre separation distance, for

example, could theoretically at some future point in time exclude a residential care home
which met all other requirements as a residence. This is an issue that some day will be faced
by someone.
In the meantime, and it is only a suggestion, and due to the acquired jargon incorporated into
the term "group home" and some person's views that the word "facility" suggests larger
buildings such as hospitals or, for example, medical facilities or sports facilities; it is thought
that a title such as "residential care homes" instead of "residential care facilities" would be
more appropriate. This, naturally, is subject to your and your client's comments and opinion.
If you do have any more questions or comments; please caJI or fax me a note.
Thank you.

We are writing on behalf of ourdient 1091402 Onfaric)Limited which owns land v.ithin the area covered
by the proposedOro Moraine Official Plan Amondment
On December 8,2002 and April 16, 2003 we provided comments to the Township's Pl:a:nningConsultants
in responseto the draft OfficialPlanAmendment and expressed our client's concerns regarding the
proposed policies (copies attached); In addition, we observed portions of two working group meetings,
attended the March 18th open house and met With Mr. McDonald and Mr. 101'los to discuss the draft
polices together with 8 development propo3aHorourclient's lands.
OUf intention is to work with the Township in developing a portion oftbe subject lands on the basis of
good planning and in. an environmentally sound m~ei'. The proposed Oro Moraine policies would
frustrate thisobjecrive.
In this regard, on June 13, 2003, MacNaughton Hennsen Britton Clarkson Planning Limited submitted
applications for an Official Plan Amcndment, Zoning By-law Amendment and Draft Plan of Subdivision
for oU1:'cHent's lands. On July 5, 2003, the ToWIWhip's rWllring Consultant confirmed that the
appHcationswerecomplete and have been circulated foragericyreview and comment On July 24m, we
met with Mr. McDonald and Mr. Bender to furtherdiseussthe status oftheappli:c.ations.
Given the development potential of the subj"clland5 and the current development applications, it is
requestedthatthe property be exempted from the propOsedOro Moraine policies. Alternatively, a
"Special Policy Area" designation. could be considered for the lands, recognizing the tlnal phase
of the development subject to therequire<l environmeritilJjustification. Additionally, the policies could
state that no further development will be permittedonlh~lands after completion of this final phase.
We had previously requested this modification in our April 160\ cOITespondenc~ and have nol yd received
a response. In reviewing the latest version of the proPQsedOro Moraine OPA, we note that our request
has not been addressed.
Therefore, we woulda,gain respectfully request that CQuncil approve our proposed modification prior to
adoptionoft.he 010 Motaine OPA.

Attention: Township Council
Re: Request for sign posting on trail
To whom it may concern,
We currently operate the only convenience store in the village of Shanty
Bay. We feel it is time to consider erecting a sign at the corner of the Second Line
and the railway trail.
Such a sign would be an advantage to our busines, but would particularly solve
major problems for those who use the trail - i.e" drinks, snacks and washroom
break.
Unfortunately, there is no public washroom in the Shanty Bay area. Many
people arrive to use the store's washroom which is NOT public. This is often quite
bothersome for us.
I am not aware of the township's regulations regarding the trail, hence am
asking how one does go about getting a sign erected at this place.
Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

Municipalities in Ontario
Dear Council, Clerk and Treasurer:
I am writing to you regarding the 2003/2004 Tile Loan Program. As you may recalI, last year
I committed to review the interest rate and the loan limit of the Tile Loan Program.
The ministry recognizes that tile drainage is a fundamental component of Ontario agriculture.
The benefits of tile drainage include improved crop yields, reduced crop losses, reduced
nutrient input requirements, improved soil quality and reduced erosion due to overland flow of
water.
It is possible that tile drainage can also facilitate the flow of nutrients to a receiving waterbody.
For this reason, the Nutrient Management Advisory. Committee has been assigned the
responsibility of developing recommendations for the spreading of nutrients on tile-drained
land. I have decided to defer any decisions on the Tile Loan Program interest rate and loan
limit until these recommendations have been developed and implemented.
Therefore, for the 2003/2004 fiscal year, tile loans will continue to be available at an 8 %
interest rate for the fixed ten-year term. The maximum amount of loan available to an
individual farmer in one year remains at $20,000.
For more infonnation on the details of the program, please review the infonnation summarized
on the attached page. For information on the details of the Tile Loan Program, contact Sid
Vander Veen at 519.,.826-3552 or by email atsid.vanderveen@omaf.~ov.on.ca.

Calculation of Annual Tile Loan Repayment
\l.\,- J-
In the past, the Ministry has recommended that the annual repayment for a lO-year loan at 8%
interest be calculated by multiplying the principal borrowed by 0.149. However, this factor is not
completely accurate and therefore, it also introduces inaccuracies into the repayment figure.
The annual repayment for a lO-year loan at 8% interest must now be calculated based as follows:
Annual Repayment Amount = Principal x 0.1490295

Amortization Schedule
The following is an example of an amortization schedule for a $1,000.00 loan at an 8% rate
of interest for the tenn of the 10 year loan.
The annual instalment is $1,000 x 0.1490295 = $149.0295 (rounded = $149.03)
Payment No. Instalment Interest Principal Balance
$1,000.00

10 $149.03 $11.04 $137.99 -$0.01
adjusted $11.05 $137.98 $0
The total principal paid must equal the total original loan. Any differences (usually pennies) in
the loan balance after the final payment should be rectified by adjusting the final interest
payment.

200312004 TILE LOAN PROGRAM
\0 b rf
\-\\-:J
LOAN DETAILS: The Tile Drainage Act allows municipalities to "sell" debentures to the
Province for funding private tile drainage projects. A municipality may only offer to sell
one debenture per month to the Province, and this debenture must be dated for the first of
the month and must include all tile loans received for that month. The tenn of the loan is
10 years and the repayment is due annually. The interest rate for the loans issued under
this Program will remain at 8%, fixed for the 10-year term of the loan. Interest is
compounded annually, and the loan can be paid at any time without penalty.
LOAN LIMIT: A Ministry policy limits the amount of loan available to a fanner each year. The
policy reads as follows: "The sum of all loans issued in any fiscal year, to an individual,
as an individual, or in his role in a partnership or corporation shall not exc-eed $20,000".
Therefore, farmers may obtain a loan for the lesser of: (a) amount applied for by the
farmer; (b) 75% of the value of the tile drainage work perlormed; or (c) $20,000.
INELIGIBLE COSTS: There are costs that cannot be included in a Tile Loan application. Any
costs incurred off the farm property or any costs not related to the tile drainage system are
not eligible for the loan. In addition, the cost of GST and work perlonned illegally by a
tile drainage contractor that is not licensed under the Agricultural Tile Drainage
Installation Act is not eligible for the loan.
DEBENTURE INFORMATION: Debentures received by our Ministry before August 1st, 2003
wi1l be purchased.
AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS: The tile drainage loan funds are available on a first come, first
served basis for the full fiscal year. If program usage this year happens to be higher than
anticipated, we will send you a letter indicating how the remainder of the program funds
wi1l be managed to control spending within our budget.

On Thursday, September 25,2003 the NVCA will be hosting the NVCA Member's Watershed Bus Tour. We will
be visiting important Natural Heritage Features and Healthy Water Projects in the Nottawasaga watershed.
Some of this year's highlights will include:
. Minesing Swamp
. Wasaga Beach
. Fort Willow Conservation Area
. Oro moraine
We are very interested in seeing some interesting areas in Ora-Medonte especially in the expanded jurisdictional
area. We would like to stop in Ora-Medonte for lunch and were thinking that the Horseshoe Valley Resort would
be a good location. I have contacted a Mr. Martin Gimble about the possibility of taking our guests up the
chairlift. We are also interested in having Nick McDonald and Rick Jones address our graup regarding their
studies.
We have a preliminary route established but are flexible at the moment.
Any suggestions you or your staff could give us regarding points of interests, projects sites or projects undertaken
by Ora-Medonte would be greatly appreciated.
I know Wayne Wilson, C.A.O.lSecretary-Treasurer will be officially inviting you to attend; however, I wanted to
. give you some notice so you could pencil in the date.
Yours in conservation,

Dear Mr. Bender:
Re: Hydrogeologic (Communal SEJrvfclng) Peer Review
Proposed Residential Golt Course Community Development - UCCI Consolidated
Thank you for your comments on the DavIdson Functlonal.SaN/dng Report and
particularly on the communal servicing componenn;. We are pleased to provide you
additional comments on the communal sewage system and w<Iter supply component.
These are Secflons 3.1 and 3.2 respectively of the letter prepared by Jagger Hims limited.

· lhe irrigation demand of 91.(0) to 136.0c0 m!S /year was provided from the golf
course designer/architect. The range accounts for variability. such as climatic
conditions etc.. However. to clarify, ftlls water demand is to be drawn from
effluent volumes augmented from Kempenfelt Bay. It Is not Intended to draw
IrrigatIon needs from any groundwate:r sources; accordingly dlmatlc conditions
and/or high water table conditions are not seen as factors to the ovallabnl1V of
water.
· We concur that groundwater condItions are approxlma1ely 1.0 metres below
. ground surface. This Is presently being monitored and the bacKground Information
wUI be utlUzed during ftle final design stages. Sewage ettluent and storm water
management ponds are distinct and oot Interconnected. The sewage efflLl8nt
pond sizing has been based on. 'WtIat we believe to be conservative values. I.e.
450 l111es per capita per day and 2,5 persons per unIt. In addliton we have made
allowance tor a 35% Increose In required storage pond volume to account tor
those periods Ihol irrigalion Is not expect&d to occur, I.e. wetter perfods. n',e
storage pond(s) area and above-grade design are typically tlnal desIgn
requirements and accordingly will be completed at that stage In the
development proposal. We believe ftlat the Infoonatlon to date demonstrat9s the
bases tor the communal sewage disposal requirements.
We also wish to point out that consideration is beIng given to effluent recycling. By
creating a separate loop tor toilets and urinals etc.. discharge reductions of up to
70% can be realized. lhe balance between Irrigation. effluent disposal and
storage will be undertaken at the final design stage taking In to account all
approprfate factors.
. A:s noted the sewage effiuent ponds and stormwcter management ponds will be
separate systems. Both will be designed to account for the groundwater
conditions. which we are monttorlng at 1tIe present time. Discharge of the
stormwater component will be at out1ets that currently exist and at pre-hydrologic
conditions. On-slte controls will be utilized 10 address the water quality
component of the runoff and to level 1 Control os requlmd by the MOE (refer to

A Certificate 01 Approval from the MOE will be necessary and which will fully
document the effluent criteria, sampling and monitoring protocols. The proposed
2ENON sewage treatment system Is quite capable of meeting the requIred
Provincial criteria. Accordingly we do not anticipate any on-slte or off-sIte

. As Indicated the SWM and sewage effluent ponds are separate and will be
designed to ensure no cross connection. They will be d'aslgned above the
groundwater level and with the appropriate freeboard and/or storage areas to

Dear Ms. Shindruk:
Re: GLL 22-209 - Response to Hydrogeologic Peer Review by Jagger Hims, Ucci
Consolidated Companies Inc., Proposed Residential Golf Course Community
We have reviewed the questions provided by the Jagger Bims Ltd. in their December 20,2002
letter. The folJowing letter addresses each of the 14 groundwater quantity and quality points
raised by Jagger Rims in section 4.0 of their letter.
4.2 Groundwater Quantity
. Hydrostratigraphic cross-section D-D' showing TWl and the deeper aquifer conditions was
completed shortly after the original report was submitted. The updated cross-section has
been attached to this letter. About 100 water well records wen: reviewed regional1y of which
72 WeTe site specific. Due to the number of wa.ter well records, these were not appended to
the report. Should the reviewer wish to see them, they can be made avaiJabJe.
. The thickness of the aquifer is at least 3 m, bas-cd on TW 1. A deeper water well loca.ted
several hundred meters north of TW1 has greater than 10 m of porous sand material at this
horizon. Several wells 4 to 5 km to the west, north and ea.st draw water from a similar
horizon. Indeed, the same horizon was identified for others 5 krn to the south at Big Bay
Point. The a.quifer characteristics cak1.l1ated from the TW 1 well development event is
outlined the Environmental Analysis Report. The results of this event are sufficient at the
feasibility stage and demonstrate that the aquifer is capable of;l su.itable groundwater supply.
Further testing of TW 1 is unnecessary as a formal pumping test program on a production well
or wens will be conducted as part of the detailed design stage of the project, and should
confirm the aquifer properties.

We concur that the pumping time was misstated as 201 minutes in the report methodology.
An data analysis and reporting, however, was based on the correct time of 121 minutes at 50
IGPM.
.
Jagger Rims asserts that the feasibility data obtained during the 4-hour well development is
insufficitmt for predictive groundwater interference evaluation. While we agree more detail is
required at the detailed design stage, we point out that the present level of information shows
that the aquifer is capable of sufficient yield, which we believc is appropriate at the feasibility
stage. A fonnal pumping test is certainly required during the detail design stage of the
project. Once the principle of development is established by the official plan amendment
(OPA) , the proponent is aware that they will have to invest in the production wel1 and other
observation wells necessary to support a clear demonstration of the capability of the aquifer.
This information is necessary for application for the Permit To Take Water and will have to
be undertaken in any event.
.
We are aware of the various physical limitations to lowering pumps as a contingency
measure. This is one of several options that could include deepening wells, replacing wells,
alternate water supply, etc. The point that needs to be made is that adverse interference with
neighbouring wells without mitigation is not allowable. In this regard, a contingency plan for
well interference will be provided as part of the Pennit to Take Water application process to
be c.ompleted after the formal pumping test. To obtain this permit the proponent must under
the Ontario Water Resourc.es Act ensure that any water taking is b'ustainable in the long tem1.
It should not adversely interfere with adjacent properties or any oth~ existing and planned
uses of the water, and will have no detrimental effect on the ec.osystem (Ontario Regulation
285/99, as amended). If the water taking causes any negative impact, the permit to take water
requires by-law that the permit holder provide water supplies to meet the needs of those
affected. We beHeve that the report demonstrates this, and emphasize, as stated above, that
the proponent is aware of the need for detaile.d work once the OP A is approved.
The water balance infonnation, water quality results, and geologic setting are entirely in
agreement for this site. Of the 110 m,m/a of infiltration, we hav4~ showD that 60 mm/a or so
will reach the deeper aquifer on the basis of measured gradients anQ soil permeability. (The
renuining 50 mmla will move laterally in the shallow weathered soils.) The statement that
the site "does not provide significant recharge" is based primarUy on the value of 60 mmla.
In the broader context of Ontario a value of 60 rnrnIa is not a high rate of recharge. In the
Oro Moraine for example, recharge rates can be as high as 200 to 300 mrnIa or more.
.
The geochemical similarity of the water in the deep and shallow monitors shows that the
recharge of the deep aquifer comes from water that has moved through similar soils. We
point out that this is a regional aquifer and much of its recharge comes from the land to the
north, which is comprised of the same soils. So, while the shallow groundwater on the site
contributes to the recharge of the deeper groundwater systern, it is not the only source. The
source of the groundwater to the confined aquifer is clearly th~ slow recharge of shallow
water over a wide area.

.
Groundwater remains -perched in the upper weathered portion of the aquita..rd becau$~ during
wetter months the precipitation is greater than infiltration, resulting in perched surface water
features. This seasonal condition is consistent with the right soils on site aod is typical of
such settings.
.
We concur that a minimum 72-hour pump test is required at the detailed design stage. The
actual length of the test may be longer in order to demon::trate the extent of dra wdown
influence and to acquire enough data for reliable long-term predictions. A temporary
Ministry of Environment Pem1it to Take Water will be obtained for this testing.
.
The measured and estimated impacts of prolonged pumping will be determin~d during the
formal pumping test. We point out that these works, which require considerable capirol
outlay, win be done at the detailed site planning stage, onc.e thl~ OPA is approved.
.
Due to the high water table conditions, it has been our asse]~ion that construction proceed
with few sub-grade structures. Indted this is consistent with the design concept of bungalow
style residenc!:& with no basements. The silty soils on the site will be frost susceptible 1>0
road construction will have to consider this as well. D~et1(ling upon the time of year for
construction, the placement of buried services will have to consider sump and pump
techniques for groundwater control. These aspectS are typicclly dealt with through detailed
geotechnical investigation at the site planning stage, much as has been recommended for th~
construction of the ponds.
.
By way of clarification, the fIre-fighting water is expected to come from a storage pond
sourced from Lake: Simcoe. It will not come from the groundwater source as indicated in the
Environmental Analysis report.
Water Quantity Comments Summary
Many of the key points raised by Jagger Hiros are related to the net~d for a fonnal pumping rest,
as was reconunended in the Environmental Analysis Report. The well development event
provided valuable information on the aquifer characteristics and is a good means of predicting
water supply. It is common practice in Ontario to use this information, coupled with water well
records and established gtology, at the feasibility stage of such prCtjects. Well drilling and
pumping test programs are very costly and are not necessary to answer the more basic questions
required to address the feasibility stage.

Groundwater Quality
.
With respect 10 the potential historic contamination issues aSS()(~ialed with the former raiJ-
line, no specific investigations have been undertaken by the proponent. It is our
understanding that the trail lands within the boundaries of the Township are now owned by
the Township. Mr. Davidson advises liS that that the municipality commissioned an
environmental review of the lands prior to assuming ownership.
.
Weare uncJear as to what hydraulic connection the reviewer is reffming to. First, the till
contains 29 to 41 % silt and clay (Table 1, page 10) which clearly govern the permeability of
the material (< 1.3 x 10-7 mIs, Table 2, page 11). Second, the d~per holes encountered
glaciolacusuine clay and silt, an even less permeable material thar is horizontally layered like
a protective blanket. Third, the geology of the area dictates that there are no vertical
hydraulic conne~tions through these materials to depth. The connection that exists is simply
one of slow vertical leakage, at rates of 0.4 to 7 m per year. With respe(;t to the inference of
contaminant movement from the storage ponds, or through spra.y irrigation, we point out that
the effluent stored there will be treated effluent, and will thus not pose a risk. An assessment
of the n~d to evaluate groundwater transport is more appropriate at the detailed design stage,
when faciJicy characteristics have been determined.
.
The site will require a Certificate of Approval under Section 53 of the' Ontario Water
Resources Act for Sewage Works. Once the details of the pond sizes and locations are
la10wn through detailed site planning, the analysis needed to support such an application will .
be carried out. It is typically at this point that the calculation nnder Guideline B-7 (MOE
Reasonable Use Guideline) is don~, once the physical details are known. Given the
attenuative capacity of these native soils, the slow rate of groundwater movement, coupled
with the low nitrate concentration of the effluent (< 5 mg/L), it )$ anticipated that Guideline
B-7 will be easil)' met. The B-7 assessment for nitrate will be cttrried out at the detailed site
design stage.
Water Quality Comments Summary
The low penneability of the silty sand till and glaciolacustrine deposits ensures that a good
hydraulic barrier exists between the surface water and groundwater resources.

and Industrial buildings located within a Municipal Water Area.

installed in existing buildings located within a Municipal
Water Area, meters shall be installed by the Township and
the cost, therefore, shall be charged to the applicable
Municipal Water Area.
5.1.3 One (1) meter shall be required for each unit within any Residential,
Commercial and/or Industrial building. The Director of Engineering
and Environmental Services may waive the requirement for
separate meters where, in the opinion of the Director of
Engineering and Environmental Services, the existing water service
prevents the installation of multiple meters. The waiving of this
requirement does not relieve the Owner from any minimum rate
which may be assessed against each unit under this By-law.
5.2 Interior and exterior meters shall remain the property of the Township and
shall not be boxed in such a manner as to prohibit them from being read,
examined or removed.

be mounted so that the top of the meter shall be between 140 and 170
centimeters from the grade level of the wall directly below it.
5.4 Interior meters shall be located in a safe and convenient space, free from
charge or rent, in a heated room suitable for this purpose, as close as
possible to the entrance of the service pipe into the building. The inside
meter shall be mounted in such a manner as to be fully braced to prevent
movement.
5
'\ \1c -\)
5.5 Free access shall be afforded to such meters and their connections for
Persons authorized by the Township whenever such access is required.
5.6 Where the Township has reason to believe that a meter is inoperable and
is unable to gain access thereto for inspection and repair, written notice
shall be sent by registered mail to the Owner. Such notice shall require
that access to the subject meter be provided to the Township within
twenty-one (21) days of the date of the notice. If access is not granted
within the said twenty-one (21) days, the Director of Engineering and
Environmental Services shall shut off the Municipal Water Supply to the
subject property.
5.7 Where the Municipal Water Supply has been shut off under Section 5.6,
the Director of Engineering and Environmental Services shall turn on the
water supply when the Owner has complied with providing access to the
meter for inspection and repair by the Township.
5.8 The Owner shall be responsible for the security of the meter, and other
Township equipment, and shall pay the Township the value of such meter
and equipment should any damage or loss occur which is, in the opinion
of the Director of Engineering and Environmental Services, due to
