I live immediately to the south of the lands which are subject to this application. I have lived at this address for 16 years. As you can expect, this area is characterized by large lot rural -type development with vast areas of open space and a limited opportunity for residential development, by subdivision or severance. While I understand that the property subject to this application has existing development permissions, I was dismayed to read in the notice that the number of lots to be developed is proposed to increase by 95 per cent to 207. 1 find this startling that in an age where rural development is considered to be inefficient and disorderly and is generally discouraged by all levels of government, an application is to be considered by Council which will see an additional 101 households introduced to the rural area. Clearly, doing so will dramatically increase the daily traffic on area roads from which exists now, and from which approval exist. Since public transit is non-existent in the area, each of these new homeowners will be completely reliant upon private automobiles. Adding 200+ trips to the local road system, is not the type of rural character which was anticipated for this area. As I understand it, the current objective for future growth is for it to take place in urban areas or villages, and in doing so public services such as fire and police protection, ambulance services, social services can be operated in an efficient manner. The placement of an additional 101 households in the rural area seems to be contrary to the direction which most municipalities in Ontario are taking. Simply adding more people within an area which has existing permissions does not provide for efficient growth and the use of Township and county resources. Aside from my comments regarding the general principle of placing a greater population in a relatively isolated rural area, I ask that the following comments be noted for consideration by Council and Staff: -In light that this area is typified by large lots possessing extensive tree cover, it is important that this character be maintained. To properly do so, it is firstly necessary to ensure that the existing vegetation along Bass Lake Sideroad be maintained. The lots adjacent to Bass Lake road should be widened and made deeper. The rear yards and fencing found typical to a suburban development such as that proposed is clearly not in keeping with this area. Deeper lots with enforced tree protection zones will provide a greater opportunity for existing trees to be retained and for effective planting to be provided where existing vegetation does not exist. -That the access onto Line 3 North be re -located to the north to further separate it from Bass Lake Sideroad. In light of that 200+ households will be have only two points of access to the adjacent road system, it will be important to ensure that the turning movements to and from this project for the residents and travelling public are as safe a s possible. -The waste water treatment facility should be designed and operated to ensure that all processing and storage is internalized and that any discharge of effluent is controlled and directed away from Bass Lake Sideroad. I thank you for the opportunity to provide my comments. In summary, I do not believe that introducing 101 additional households within in a suburban type development into this area is in keeping with rural character of this area, and that without meaningful design changes, significant impacts to the appearance/aesthetic and function rural community of this area will occur. Yours truly, Peter M. Osachuk.

Derek Witlib, Manager, Development Services Good morning Mr Witlib, I am writing to seek some clarification and to express some concerns my wife and I have regarding the proposed planning changes to Eagles Rest Estates. We hope to be able to attend the public meeting on January 8th, but just in case we can't, here are our concerns and questions. 1) The change from 106 to 207 residential lots will obviously almost double the draw on the local water sources. How will this effect the local water supply? 2) I am curious about the "pond overflow channel" between our property and our neighbours. Its noted on the initial site plan diagram but it isn't on the second diagram. Will it be covered? Where is its final destination? 3) Is the sewage treatment plant a "holding facility" or an actual treatment plant? If its a treatment plant, where does the effluent go?

Please accept these written comments pertaining to the above noted public meeting on January 8, 2020 as I am unable to attend in person. I am a registered professional engineer in the Province of Ontario and a Town Engineer. Part of my job is to review and approve engineering designs for site plans and subdivisions for an Ontario municipality. I'm also interested in local development applications as a resident of Oro-Medonte I have only reviewed the drawings attached to the Notice of Public Meeting for this project and have a few comments: - The increase in density is no issue if there is sufficient water and wastewater and if it is within the Provincial requirements - The proposed redline has reconfigured the road network significantly from the Draft Plan. I believe the Town should request the Developer to review: o The driveway location for Lots 27 and 28 will be very close to the intersection and may be problematic. Review the setback and queuing given the anticipated traffic volume o The driveway for Lot 172 will in the setback of the intersection if off of Street H given the geometry of Street B o The revised entrance off of Line 3 is unacceptable: • The location on Line 3 is fine • The "T shape" does not allow proper left eastbound turns or right southbound turns and enable queuing to exit/enter the subdivision. • The driveway locations for Lots 96,97,98,1 and 2 will interfere with traffic flow/queuing in the proposed "T" intersection • Winter maintenance for snow storage will be impossible in this proposed "T" o The offset intersections at Street B, Street H, Street G and Street E is challenging. The sightlines for a northbound driver turning east off of Street H will be very difficult as it's not at 90 degrees. o Without scaling the drawings it looks like some of the streets may not meet the Town's road allowance widths; most notably the entrance off of Bass Lake Sideroad I do know that the driveway locations are not part of this redline exercise but if the revised draft plan is approved without consideration, the next stage in the engineering approvals may create more conflicts with the Developer. Please add my comments to the record for this Public Meeting.

We are particularly concerned about two proposed revisions: 1. The entrance to the subdivision on Line 3N just north of Bass Lake Side Road is a dangerous location for the entrance and should be relocated. Southbound vehicles on this final stretch of road prior to reaching Bass Lake Sideroad is downhill and vehicles usually exceed the speed limit. In the winter months this area is usually covered in snow and difficult to stop quickly especially if vehicles are slowing down to enter the entrance or vehicles are slowly exiting the entrance and turning north on Line 3. Point two below will also add to the congestion. What traffic studies have been completed to justify this entrance to the subdivision? 2. The revision to double the density of the subdivision by reducing lot sizes to permit twice the number of homes as originally planned will create even more traffic in an area that is rapidly becoming a heavily travelled area with residential, visitor and construction vehicles not to mention recreational ATV traffic on Bass Lake Sideroad and snowmobile traffic in winter. It will also put additional strain on the already limited community resources such as parks, recreation, programs and other infrastructure. Why was this subdivision not included in the Cole Engineering Report on HCC Master Servicing as it is clearly in the study area as described in the subject report?

Dear Mr Withb I write to express some concerns and ask some questions about the notice related to the Eagles Rest Estates Inc development of the old Edgar lands. 1. There are only 2 means of public access to the property — one on Bass Lake Sideroad and one on Line 3N just above Bass Lake Sideroad. a. I think the one on Line 3N is situated in a dangerous location. Not only is it close to the intersection of Line 3N and Bass Lake Sideroad, it is on a slope in the road which is often treacherous due to wet and icy conditions. It is an invitation to accidents resulting in damage to personal property as well as personal injury. b. The hilly, curvy part of Line 3N extending below the border between Lots 5 and 4 Con 3 is often the site of vehicles that have slid off the road and into the ditch, especially at the curve which is banked incorrectly, so access at any point along this stretch would be similarly unsuitable. 2. There are 3 means of access by vehicles to service wells, pump houses and sewage treatment plants. a. One off Bass Lake Sideroad, one off Line 2 and, apparently, one off Line 3 at the border between Lots 5 and 4 Con 3. b. I suggest that at least one of these be amended to include public access and replace the access at Line 3 noted in point 1. above. c. I suggest that it be the access at the border between Lots 5 and 4 where vision up and down the 3rd is good and there are no close intersections. 3. The density of 207 single homes is, in my opinion too much to be in keeping with the development in the surrounding area. a. The tiny lots will have homes so close together as to resemble a subdivision in a city rather than in a rural area. i. It is important that we keep development in this area consistent with the lovely natural environment we want to continue enjoying. b. The number of vehicles —likely at least 2 per lot — will result in congestion on the local concession roads. i. Rush hour traffic is not something I want to encounter on the concession roads in this lovely area. c. I suggest that the number of lots be significantly reduced from 207 or that an other use for the land be sought. 4. The 207 lots will, in all likelihood, involve many children who will overcrowd the proposed new elementary school close to Line 4 and Horseshoe Valley Road before the school is even open. a. How will it be determined whose children will be entitled to attend the new school and whose will be bussed to schools outside the area? b. Where will the school bus stop for the development be located? 5. The sewage plant, wells and pumping stations: a. Will these be owned and maintained by the Township? b. If privately owned, how will the owners in the development be assured of fair and equitable charges for these services? I'm sure there will be many other concerns and questions atthe Meeting on Jan 8'h. I hope mine will be addressed as well.

Council <Council@oro-medonte.ca> January 8, 2020 Development Services Committee 5a) Additional correspondence received Subject: Eagles Rest Estates Inc. Proposed Amendment to the Zoning by-law I have owned property in the Horseshoe Valley Area for 18 years and been a full time resident of the area for 9 years. We started out at the Valley Chalets on the cross country side of Horseshoe resort and moved to Pine Spring, still in the Horseshoe Resort Area, in 2005. Our draw to the area was the great cross country skiing at Hardwood Ski & Bike (formerly Hardwood Hills), the mountain biking in both the Copeland forest and at Hardwood and the great network of quiet paved roads in Oro-Medonte and surrounding areas for biking and roller skiing. Over the last few years I have noticed a large increase in the number of vehicles on the roads and would no longer call the roads quiet. My fear is that developments such as Eagles Rest, with their proposed changes so they can double the density of their development, will further erode the quality of life that I have come to expect from this area. Their proposal might be appropriate for the outskirts of Toronto or Barrie but it is not appropriate for Oro-Medonte. They have already almost clear -cut the entire site, (compared to the treed area it was before touched by developers) and the number of houses in the proposed amendment is not suitable for our area at all. My guess is that the proposed amendment will bring the type of people to the area that do not care about the amenities in our area and are more concerned about getting from point A to B in their vehicles. In any event, the proposal will bring way too much more vehicular traffic to our roads and potentially bring the types of people that do not care about those that use the road for biking and roller skiing. This comment comes from my personal experiences on the roads over the last few years compared to the last 20 years. I also think this is a bad precedent as if approved other developers are sure to ask for the same type of density and all too soon we will be more like the GTA (greater Toronto Area) than Oro-Medonte. Please do not approve the proposed amendment to the zoning bylaw that will allow Eagles Rest to increase the number of proposed residential lots from about 106 to about 207. Please leave the plan for the site at the current density of about 106 lots.

It is our understanding that the proposed zoning by-law amendment would occur prior to a revision of the existing draft plan of subdivision. At this time it is expected that the revisions would include: • Replacement of the Residential One (R1) Zone and Rural Residential Exception 262 (RUR1*262) with two new Rural Residential Exception Zones with: - reduced minimum lot frontage from 30 and 40m to 21 and 25m. - reduced minimum lot area from 2000 and 4000m2 to 900 and 990m2 • Adjustment in the boundaries and locations of the Open Space (OS) Zone and Open Space Exception 263 (OS*263) resulting in a reduction in the open space area from 4.24ha to 1.93ha excluding the stormwater management block (Block 208) • A revised street network from 7.03ha to 7.99ha • An increased density from 2.3 to 4.5units/ha • An increase in the number of single detached residential lots from 106 to 207 Through preliminary review of the Planning Justification Report (Innovative Planning Solutions, dated January 2020), and in providing a response for the Development Services Committee Public Meeting, the County of Simcoe has identified matters which require further review. The County would seek to clarify that the property is designated as Rural and Greenlands within the Simcoe County Official Plan — Schedule 5.1, and is not within a settlement area. Accordingly, this review must consider whether the proposed ZBA that would result in an opportunity for an additional 101 lots is supportable based on this planning policy context. The PPS directs growth and development to settlement areas, with limited residential development permitted in Rural lands. Development which is compatible, justified and economically sustainable should be promoted. Page 1 of 2 • The Growth Plan directs development to settlement areas and requires demonstration that Natural Heritage System features will be provided consistent and long-term protection. • The County Official Plan establishes a Growth Management Strategy and natural heritage system policies which require review in light of the proposed revisions. Please note these comments are preliminary in nature, and may be revised through on -going review as a function of the application process. Thank you for circulating this notice to the County, we look forward to continue working with the Township in review of this application.
