Sante pour les Canadiens His Worship Neil Craig Township ofOro-Medonte 148 Line 7 South Oro, Ontario LOL 2XO Dear Mayor Craig, The Canadian Medical Association (CMA) is delighted to announce that in recognizing the important role it can play in promoting a smoke-free environment for its citizens, the Township of Oro-Medonte has met the criteria and is a recipient of the inaugural CMA Award for Excellence in Health Promotion. The CMA represents more than 55,000 physicians across the country and in February 2003, CMA celebrated the first anniversary of its Office for Public Health. The mandate of the Office for Public Health is to further the CMA's vision of a healthy population and on Wednesday August 20,2003 we will be launching our Award for Excellence in Health Promotion to recognize individuals and corporations outside of the health sector, who have made a significant contribution towards a healthy population. The first annual Award for Excellence in Health Promotion is being presented to the Canadian Federation of Municipalities in recognition of those municipalities across Canada who have passed bylaws banning smoking (100%) in all indoor public places by July 1,2003. The award will be presented at our 136th Annual General Council taking place in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Enclosed you will find a certificate acknowledging your community, a copy of the national media release that will be issued, and a list of those municipalities across the country who have qualified for this award for use in your community newsletters. We would be pleased, where possible, to arrange to have a CMA representative attend a future council meeting in order to officially present the certificate to you and your council. If you are interested in pursuing this option, please contact Leanne Maidment at the CMA at (613) 731-8610 ext. 2304 or 1-800-663-7336 to make arrangements. With an estimated 45 000 deaths per year attributed to its use, tobacco is the number one cause of preventable disease and death in Canada and we are delighted that the Township ofOro-Medonte is playing a critical role in aiming to reduce these figures. Canada's physicians congratulate you on the leadership you have shown in making your community a healthier place in which to live. Encls. cc.

SURVEYORS Your Worship and Members of Council, .. Re: UCCI Adult Lifestyle Proposal: Official Plan Amendment No. 18 Township Application 1# P115/01 Our File: DAV- 98160 In preparation for a deputation on Wednesday, October 1 ", a number of comments and issues are raised in this letter in an attempt to advance the approval of the Official Plan Amendment and to provide further background in relationship to the recent objection by Dr. Golden. Philosophically. Nick McDonald's revision to the draft for Official Plan Amendment No. 18, is consistent with his presentation to Council members on August 18th. 2003. Although we feel that the current policy framework of the Township's Official Plan provides an appropriate planning foundation for Adult Lifestyle, the conversion to a Recreational designation is acceptable to LlCCI given the intentJon to accord site specific recognition of the LlCCI Adult Lifestyle Community. However, there are a few changes which should be introduced and to which you have already agreed: · According to Policy D6.1. 1.4. the implementing Zoning By-law shall prohibit the construction of two storey single and semi-detached dwellings. While this height ceiling is appropriate for the single and semi-detached dwellings, Council members will recall from the August 18'h meeting that there are two building clusters in the central part of the site which will seNe as a retirement apartment complex comprising 40 units altogether. Given the placement of these buildings. it is fUlly expected that the building architecture may evolve to be 2 storeys high above grade with a partial basement ftoor configured as a walkout. Accordingly, the text of the draft amendment should be altered to reflect that provision. · Secondly, Conditions of Approval. Policy D6.1.1 (F) states as follows: "The development will not have a negative impact on the natural heritage features and related ecological functions on the site and in the immediate area and will not have 0 negative impact on the overall function of the Greenlands system south of Ridge Road. ~ '" This policy is expressed in very absolute terms and given a very strict interpretation of same, any development would convey an impact no matier how insignificant the building footprint might be. Even the construction of a small garage conveys on impact on natural conditions and os such it would be impossible for any development or developer to adhere to the letter of that policy. Instead. we suggest that Paragraph (F) be rewritten to express compliance with standards and specifications of the approval agencies including the County. the Township, the it Suite JOO . 300 Lakeshore Drive, Barrie. Ontario L4N 084 705-734-2538. 705-734-1056 fax . www.jonesconsultlng.com let fo Mayor Gralg MemOe" Sep, 26 OJ Page 1 9-26-03; 9:01AM; TWp OT Oro-Medonte;1 "" ~/ ~6- Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority and the Ministry of Natural Resources. This suggestion offers a more reasonable circumstance for compliance purposes although as we have previously explained, compliance with environmental standards will be sustained by this development. . The Amendment also suggests that there be no further approvals until all conditions have been sansfied by way of studies and on site investigations. In this regard we suggest to you that it may be advantageous to the Township as well as the proponents to go forward with a public meeting on the rezoning of the subject lands. The Rezoning Application was submitted to the Township and authority exists to take that recommendation to a pUblic meeting. The benefits of this suggestion are two-fold: The proponents would of course benefit from a more continuous approval process in relationship to matters involving pUblic input and notification and certainly, should an appeai be made to the Township and County OPA's, that hearing could be joined with the appeal to the Rezoning By- law. Secondly, the public benefits by having another public meeting (a third public meeting) convened in the Council chambers of the Township afford a further opportunity to exchange - under the auspices of the Township's poJiticians- all details in relationship to this development. The public, both for and against. would benefit from this additional information exchange. As explained last Tuesday, we have written to Dr. Golden in connection with his concerns and this letter suggested a meeting so that all information could be explained and made available for scrutiny and comment. Thus far. there has been no response to our letter prepared by Mr. White which is attached. As I further indicated last Tuesday, we have addressed the concerns noted in Dr. Golden's letter and these investigations have been affirmed by the Township's planning consultant and county planning officials. We have "gone the distance" in ensuring the UCCI proposal Is a sustainable and livable Adult Lifestyle Community which promotes the best interests of the Township of Oro- Medonte. We also believe that Dr. Golden had the opportunity to express his opposition at the March public meeting before the Township of Oro-Medonte Council and at the April meeting before the County's Corporate Services Committee. Dr. Golden was also aware of this development having been notified of same by Mr. Bryan Davidson in January 2003 as 0 consequence of an appraisal report provided to him by Mr. Davidson in connection with another matter. If Dr. Golden and others seek to defer Council's approval of the revised OPPI, I believe the strategy to be unfair and in opposition to a pianning process which has been marked by openness and the comprehensive exchange of information. We seek your final approval of this Official Plan Amendment. with revisions, this evening. RCJ:cdk c. B Davidson, D. White. Nick McDonald Suite 100.300 Lakeshore Drive, Borrie.

BOARD CHAIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICE lOb - MINUTES OF A MEETING of THE LAKE SIMCOE REGIONAL AIRPORT COMMISSION HELD ON THURSDAY AUGUST 21,2003 AT THE LAKE SIMCOE REGIONAL AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING In Attendance: Commissioners: W. Dickie W. Gardy G. Fernandes R.Hough L. Leach M. Ramsay S. Trotter Staff: W. McArthur, City of Barrie M. Drumm, APM Regrets: M. Childs F. Smith CALL TO ORDER The meeting came to order at 7:05 p.m. and was chaired by W. Dickie. 1.0 MINUTES OF THE JUNE 19, 2003 COMMISSION MEETING MOTION: Moved by R. Hough; seconded by L. Leach. 2003-AC-73 "THAT, the minutes of the June 19, 2003 Commission meeting, be approved." Carried. 2.0 BUSINESS ARISING FROM THE MINUTES No new business was discussed. 3.0 PROPERTIES & COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT i) W. Dickie provided the Commission members with an update as to UKCAN II Incorporated's development progress. It was reviewed that UKCAN II Incorporated submitted a Site Plan Application dated July 18, 2003 concurrently to the Township of Oro-Medonte Planning Department as well as to Lake Simcoe Regional Airport staff for comment. W. McArthur and M. Drumm reviewed the airport staff's responding comments as provided to UKCAN \I Incorporated. W. Dickie further reviewed two outstanding items noted by the Township's staff stemming from the Site Plan Application, namely car parking and on-site water storage for fire suppression. W. Dickie reported that UKCAN II's site plan application does not conform to the Township's zoning by-law parking requirements and that the application, as submitted, understates the car-parking requirements by 47% (24 car parking spots). W. Dickie further reviewed that under the advice of the Fire Chief for the Township of Oro-Medonte, the addition \()b~J of on-site water storage for fire suppression was required. W. Dickie suggested that preliminary discussions on this recommendation might be realized by a three-way cost sharing agreement between the Township, the airport and the developer. The estimated costs associated with the required 20,OOO-gallon storage facility totals $35,000.00. Direction was given to staff to advise the Township Site Plan Committee, of the airport Commission's cooperation. L. Leach reiterated that the Township's zoning by-law appears to overstate car- parking requirements compared to other airports of comparable size to the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport. G. Fernandes reviewed that pursuant to airport Commission Motions 2003-AC-56, 2003-AC-57, 2003-AC-58 and 2003-AC-65, staff is responsible to resolve the parking issue. Both the airport and Township's comments are to be reviewed at a Township Site Plan Committee meeting, with the principles of UKCAN II Incorporated on August 25, 2003. W. Gardy noted that further on-site fire suppression capabilities will be a requirement throughout the various phases of commercial development activities at the airport and suggested that future capital budgets include provisions for such requirements. As the Township of Oro-Medonte is the provider of fire and emergency services at the Lake Simcoe Regional Airport, it was further suggested that staffs work concurrently with the Township to review and incorporate these requirements. ii) Pursuant to the June 19, 2003 airport Commission meeting, G. Fernandes requested that staff prepare a priority list of required Capital upgrades along with the implications (brief) of each as they directly relate to the commercial hangar developments, for review at the October 2003 Commission meeting. M. Drumm and W. McArthur suggested that numerous capital upgrades with such information had been prepared in the Capital Infrastructure Funding Request submitted to the Federal government at the beginning of fiscal 2003. However, further information would be available for review as requested. iii) W. McArthur reviewed that the City of Barrie requested the total contribution for the airport's 2004 Capital budget. MOTION: Moved by M. Ramsay, seconded by G. Fernandes. 2003-AC-74 "THAT, the 2004 Capital contribution be set at $100,000.00." Carried. 4.0 FINANCIAL REPORT i) The June 2003 and YTD Financial Reports were reviewed. MOTION: Moved by S. Trotter, seconded by R. Hough. 2003-AC-75 "THAT, the June 2003 and YTD Financial Reports be approved, as presented." Carried. 2 M. Drumm indicated that as a result of the power outage, the July 2003 and YTD financial reports were unavailable and would be presented at the September t() Commission meeting. \ '0 - 3 ii) M. Drumm reviewed the Semi-annual report dated July 25, 2003 and as sent to the three partnering municipalities, depicts that the airport is operating 22% ahead of the planned year-to-date budget. 5.0 NEW BUSINESS/CORRESPONDENCE i) W. McArthur reviewed the construction update as of August 11, 2003. ii) The airport manager's report was received as information. iii) All additional correspondence as presented by the airport manager was reviewed. 6.0 MEETING{S) The next Commission meeting is to be held on Thursday September 18, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. 7.0 ADJOURNMENT MOTION: Moved by M.

Mrs. Para-Self recommended that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to member municipalities for endorsement and support. 6 13 \()c.-l Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Boarct#/~ectors' Meeting BOO-08-03 - Minutes August 22nd, 2003 Mayor Tom Taylor asked if Authority staff comment on the Growth Management Plan. The Director Environmental Services advised that staff do not comment at the initial stage. The Province provides projected growth figures to the municipalities. The CAO commented that Authority staff have recently completed the "State of the Watershed" report and the next step is to complete the "Watershed Plan". The bottom line is how does the Authority deal with development plans at the municipal and regional levels? Development in the Lake Simcoe watershed is headed in the same direction as the Oak Ridges Moraine. More vocal advocates are needed to apply pressure to stop the growth. The Town of Georgina has a very. active group of environmental advocates who will be putting pressure on the Authority to get the Watershed Plan completed. Deputy Mayor John West advised that municipalities C<;3n not expect the Conservation Authorities to "pull the plug" on development growth. It is up to the individual municipalities to fight this. Mayor Margaret Black advised that the development planning process must have a step that includes "sustainable community's". Councillor Larry Corrigan inquired if the Authority has the science to support denying developers to build around the Lake? The Director Environmental Services advised that the tools and data are definitely available however unfortunately the Conservation Authority does not make the final decision in the development phase. Inevitably when development is denied, the application will go before the Ontario Municipal Board for review. Mayor Taylor asked if the Authority's Board of Directors could support the hiring of an individual to expedite the completion of the Watershed Plan? The CAO responded that at the present time the Authority is "cash strapped" and money is definitely the issue.The Authority went out to the municipalities for the 2003 budget and staff still did not get a step increase. Scientific expertise is out there but we do not have the staff to do this in an efficient manner. Our current staff is over expended at this time. The Environmental Services Division could certainly use extra staff. The CAO advised that the Province is recognizing the importance of completing various studies and are currently considering funding a position for an LSEMS Co-ordinator. Deputy Mayor John West asked that a report addressing the associated costs to increase staff be brought to this Board forapproval. Moved by: J.

As some Members hadto leave this meeting early due to other commitments, the CAO requested that the Board deal with the issue ofthe sewage spill, item 4 from the "Tabled Items and Other Business Agenda", 4. Sewage Spill - August 14th, 2003 The Director, Environmental Services provided an overview on the sewage spill which occurred on August 14, 2003. The presentation included maps which indicted the point of the spill and the direction of the flow as well as photographs of the spill. The Director advised that Authority staff were not contacted directly regarding this spill and that staff read about it on Monday morning in the paper. This was very unfortunate as staff could definitely have assisted by containing the spill and possibly reduced the negative effects of the spill on Lake Simcoe. Authority staff have and are continuing to perform monitoring and analysis. There was a huge impact on the fish population resulting in thousands of dead fish in Fairy Lake alone. The "fish kill" has been determined to be a direct result of the sewage spill. 8 15 ~()c -9 Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Board)Sf/Offectors' Meeting BOO-08-03 - Minutes August 22nd, 2003 Mayor Tom Taylor advised that the Town of Newmarket had staff removing the fish from Fairy Lake over the weekend and confirmed that thousands of fish have been lost. Mayor Taylor further advised that the Town has assigned a full time staff member to deal with this situation. The fact that this spill happened indicates a lack of sophistication which should be in place. There should be some type of containment in order to deal with such spills. The CAO presented a copy of a memo and documentation which was provided to the Regional Municipality of York and advised that Authority staff will be working with the Region to address how this disaster could have been better handled. The memo contained three recommendations as follows: 1) That Authority staff work with our municipal partners to develop protocols to ensure that the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority will be contacted immediately should a similar emergency occur in the future. In this regard Authority staff could provide assistance to the municipalities in monitoring and potentially containing and controlling future spills. 2) That Authority staff work closely with municipal staff and their agents to share information collected throughout the course of this or other events. The establishment of an interagency working group might be one solution to identify staff contacts and ensure that all stakeholders are informed and involved. 3. The Authority in partnership with the Region of York develop.a rehabilitation plan based on the assessment of the environmental impacts of the spill. This pro-active approach would demonstrate the continuing commitment by York Region towards the environment. The CAO further presented a "draft" letter addressed to Premier Ernie Eves regarding the lack.of available support from the Ministry of the Environment which was designated a "non-essential" service and remained closed the week of August 18th as a result of the power outage. The CAO requested permission from the Board to send this letter under the Chair's signature. The Board concurred with this request asking that Conservation Ontario be provided with a copy. The CAO extended her compliments to Authority staff for their demonstrated hard work and commitment put forth in response to this spill. The Board suggested that Authority staff request a report from the watershed municipalities on how they dealt with their sewage treatment plants during the power outage. 9 16 \Dc~\O Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Boar<:h<a1~rectors' Meeting BOD-lis-t13 - Minutes August 220d, 2003 Moved by: Seconded by: BOD-03-111 M.

The report was prepared in response to a letter received from an individual expressing disappointment that the Authority did not participate in the Eco Festival at Newmarket. The report reflects that the Authority was in fact represented at the Eco Festival by volunteer staff and Authority information was distributed. Moved by: Seconded by: BOD-03-115 S. Pliakes J.

The Director advised that a report from SGS Lakefield Research Limited was received in July 2003 (copy included with Staff Report). As Scanlon Creek Conservation Area is considered a "designated facility" and because it deals mainly with children, a higher level of care and caution must be taken. 10 17 \()c -\\ August 22nd, 2003 Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority Board of Directors' Meeting BOD-08-03 - Minutes Staff is recorrunending that the repairsandupgrades outlined in the Staff Report, which are based on.the SGS Report, be carried out as soon as po~sible in order to be ready for the 2003/2g04 school yea (which commences September 16th, 2003.

September 23, 2003 The Council of Oro-Medonte Township of Oro-Medonte P.O. Box 100, RR #1, Oro Station LOL 2XO C/O: Harry Hughes, Councillor t% RE: UCCI Proposal Township Application P115/01 OP Amendment No.18 Dear Mr. Hughes: We are long time seasonal residents of Oro-Medonte. Since 1946 and through 3 generations our family has owned property in Oro-Medonte and specifically on Lake Simcoe. We are presently the owners of the property at 249 Lakeshore Road West. We are writing to you to voice our opposition to the above proposal. We have been actively following the above proposal and have recently become members of the West Oro Ratepayers Association. Upon review of information made available to date, we are extremely concerned with the potentially negative impact this proposal will have on the water quality of Lake Simcoe and with the potentially negative environmental impact that such a large development would have on a space that is environmentally protected and designated as Greenland. We should all be seriously concerned with any potential benefits a proposal such as this might provide (other than to the applicant) when it requires such significant amendment to the Official Plan of both the Township and the County as well as to various Zoning By-Laws. We recognize that from time to time Official Plans may need to be modified but certainly not to the extent that this proposal requires. The real question here must be - How can one individual developer expect to receive so much consideration not only from the Township but also from the County? What can future developers demand with such a precedent being set? To develop an Adult Lifestyle Community in this area when there is no specific proven demand for it and when in fact the Township has already moved to update the language in its Official Plan preventing this sort of development in the future begs the question - Why are we still entertaining this proposal? To simply say that the application was filed prior to this update is in our mind the wrong reason for its continued consideration. We therefore ask that the Council of Oro-Medonte and the County of Simcoe not approve this proposal. Yours truly, Lauren and Domenic Natale Page 1 of 1 ~ \ltc c..

I am a member of the West Oro Ratepayers Association and as a group, we will be submitting a Planning report that will fully outline all the reason why the Official Plan should not be changed, as well as not be allowed to move forward. I would appreciate it if I could request that you make no decision on October 1, 2003 with respect to the OP amendment other than formally receive the Planning report and allow the Association time to submit our report and present arguments for it, before any further decisions are made. We are concerned about the density of the proposed project, and the ecological detriments to both the land and the water that may result. Thank you for your consideration to this matter.

Box 100, Oro, Ontario LOL 2XO Subject: DCCI Proposal Township Application PI 15/01 OP Amendment NO.I8 Dear Sir: A prime factor in choosing to build on Windfields Drive was the rural nature of the area. The proposed development will significantly alter the character of the neighborhood. The density proposed and the presence of a golf course have the potential to greatly increase traffic on the surrounding roads, and adversely impact the water level in local wells, wild life, and Lake Simcoe. Nothing we have read or heard alleviates our concerns and therefore we oppose changes to the Official Plan We understand that impact studies have been done by a number of consultants retained by the developer. Weare aware that the West Oro Ratepayers Association is having a planning report prepared which will provide additional infonnation on the impact of this development. We request that no decision to the Official Plan amendment be made until this planning report is received and arguments presented.

Some of our concerns are: a) increased traffic; b) pollution of ground water; c) pollution of Kempenfelt Bay; d) destruction of wetland that is home to many kinds of plants and animal life. It is our understanding that there is an official plan in place that does not allow this kind of development, and we ask that it not be changed. Development, especially on this large scale, will be detrimental to the rural nature of our neighbourhood. As members of the West Oro Ratepayers Association, we urge Council not to make any decision on the DCCI Proposal at the October 1, 2003 meeting until it has heard the submissions from the West Oro Ratepayers Association's planner and legal counsel, which will provide full details of our opposition.

We learned last month through the West Oro Ratepayers Assoc of the plans to develop the property between the 4th and 5th lines into a golf course plus a 350+ townhouse development. We immediately joined the Association and I attempted to contact the township but was unable to get through by phone. I subsequently sent an email followed up by fax requesting information and a copy of the plan so that I could be properly informed about the proposal. That was done on Sept 5th and to date I have received no response. I am distressed as a taxpayer that my request to obtain information on a project of this magnitude located so close to my property has been ignored and quite concerned that my voice and that of my neighbors will not be heard before it is too late to do something about this project. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend last Sunday's Association meeting due to a prior family commitment. Today I received a message regarding the proposed next steps of the process. I would like to go on record as being opposed to the project and respectfully request that the meeting on October 1 st be limited to receipt of the planning report and that our Ratepayers Association be given time to submit our report. I would be pleased to discuss this further and can be reached at 416-860-3763 during the day and 416-968-0583 in the evenings. Thanks you for your attention to my concerns.

Unfortunately the above-captioned proposal has proceeded to a significant extent without the writer having received prior notifications. Possibly I am outside the geographical limits of the required notice. However now that I have become fully aware of the matter thanks to the disclosure effected by the West Oro Ratepayers Association I would ask for a reasonable opportunity to file my objections to the said development. I find it offensive that a development of this magnitude (in excess of 300 units), and its impact on the area and environment could proceed without detailed consideration and review by the Township including submissions from the local residents. In particular I am advised that the West Oro Ratepayers Association is in the midst of having a planning report prepared. Accordingly the Official Plan should not be changed without full disclosure and consideration of all of the consequences. It therefore request that no vote occur at the meeting to be held on September 24, 2003 and no vote or decision be made at the scheduled October I, 2003 meeting in order to provide a reasonable and thorough review to occur including the submission and consideration of the Planning Report being requisitioned by the West Oro Ratepayers Association.
