LAKE SIMCOE REGION CONSERVATION AUTHORITY
TOWNSIDP OF ORO- MEDONTE
2004 BUDGET
OPERATING AND SPECIAL CAPITAL LEVY
BUDGET PROPOSALS
The Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority has worked with its watershed Municipal partners to bring
forward budget proposals that are consistent with the environmental goals and objectives of each partner and
consistent in terms of the types of programs delivered by each Conservation Authority serving the
Municipality.
In working with other Conservation Authorities who deliver programs to the majority of our municipal
partners we have determined the components required to deliver a comprehensive watershed management
strategy. In 2000 a method of categorizing programs was developed so that they are understandable and
linked to the needs of each of our watershed partners.
The Authority in partnership with their watershed municipalities is committed to the protection,
restoration and enhancement of the natural environment through the development and application
of watershed plans, innovative environmental science and education programs. We provide
expertise to municipalities for informed environmental planning and development. In addition, our
work focuses on developing and implementing programs and partnerships that protect and enhance
the form, features and functions of the landscape.
Maintaining existing nature appreciation and recreation facilities and enhancing opportunities for
the public to experience nature and the ecology ofthe region is yet another of our objectives. These
areas of interest have been focused upon to ensure a responsive budget - one that meets both our
needs while keeping the health of watershed in the forefront.
Operating Levy: 2004 - 2008 (See Multi-Year Table Attached)
The operating budgets have been developed using the following categories and assumptions:
1. Base: includes a proposed 3% cost ofliving and merit adjustment for current staff, the impact
ofthe renewal and increase ofOMERS premiums, and general inflationary costs such as higher
utilities, insurance premiums etc.
2. Mandatory: includes adjustment for current value assessment and property taxes.
3. Growth: includes new positions required to manage growth within the watershed; also includes
planning fee increases which offset some of the additional staffing and other support costs.
Page 2
Township of Oro-Medonte
February 25, 2004
Special Capital Levy: 2004 - 2008 (See Multi-Year Table Attached)
Capital Budget Forecasts have been developed using the following program categories:
1. Watershed Planning/Sub-Watershed Planning
2. Aquatic Resource Management Plans/Fisheries Management Plans
3. Groundwater Management
4. Watershed Monitoring
5. Natural Heritage Mapping
6. Natural Hazard Mapping
7. Watershed Specific Projects/Studies
8. Stewardship
9. Regional Open Space System
10. Flood Forecasting/Warning
11. Infrastructure
12. Conservation Lands Management
1. Watershed Planning/Sub-Watershed Planning
Watershed and sub-watershed plans provide a framework for the implementation of remedial
activities and a focus for community action. More importantly, they prevent further serious
degradation to the existing environment and can reduce the need for expensive rehabilitation efforts.
Watershed plans provide a framework within which sustainable development can occur.
Watershed Plans for the Oro Creeks, Hawkestone Creek and OriIlia West Creeks is on the
Authority's schedule for startup in 2007 with expected completion in 2008. The total costs
are projected to be $125,000.
2. Aquatic Resource/Fisheries Management Plans (ARMPs)
Aquatic Resource Management Plans are important tools to complement watershed planning to guide
the management of aquatic resources in individual watersheds. They are resource documents that
combine information on the historic function of aquatic systems with current conditions and impacts
to derive a management strategy. Plans are being developed in consultation with the public, and
interest groups as well as relevant agencies such as the Ministry of Natural Resources, the
Department of Fisheries and Oceans, and local and regional municipalities. ARMPs provide
management direction for aquatic resources, including the identification of specific implementation
projects that will improve water quality and the health of fish habitat.
Programs in this category recognize that the health of aquatic systems is a strong linkage to the
relative health of river and groundwater and adjacent riparian habitat. A data base for aquatic habitat
is a per curser to determining the fisheries potential in regional water courses and understanding the
overall health of the watershed. The development of management plans for preserving and
improving fisheries resources and water quality is an important step in managing these natural
resources.

February 25, 2004
There are no planned projects in this category within the next five years. Staff will be working
with you to determine the need for this type of project within your municipality.
3. Groundwater Management
Understanding the relationship between ground and surface waters and having a general knowledge
of the state of our groundwater resources is essential to protect and maintain the health and quality
of the Lake Simcoe ecosystem. The LSRCA will continue to Co-Chair the South Simcoe
Groundwater Partnership, which oversaw the municipal groundwater study resulting in a vast
improvement of the understanding of groundwater resources. LSRCA staff also Chair the planning
sub-committee of the group, which will develop a series of generic strategies, tools and policies to
help municipalities to better manage groundwater resources in the area.
In cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and municipal partners, the groundwater
monitoring program will involve the surveillance of 13 wells throughout the Lake Simcoe
watershed, including a nest of2 wells within Oro-Medonte. The network will be monitored for both
quantity and quality with real-time quantity data available via data loggers and cellular modems.
Water quality monitoring will be conducted annually in select wells with the frequency increasing
should results warrant further sampling. Water level data will be available to partner agencies
through a web site hosted by the MOE while chemical data can be obtained from the Conservation
Authority. Additionally, spot measurements of base flow were collected across the watershed to help
identify areas of groundwater discharge.
LSRCA 2003 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The South Simcoe Groundwater Study was completed in 2003, and is currently being reviewed by
the MOE. The resultant mapping of wellhead protection and vulnerable areas are available to partner
planning staff to help facilitate their groundwater management initiatives.
In cooperation with the Ministry of the Environment (MOE) and municipal partners, 6 monitoring
wells were drilled in early 2003 to supplement the monitoring network including the 2 wells in Oro-
Medonte Initial water quality sampling was conducted on the newly drilled wells in the fall, the
results of which will determine the future frequency of sampling and the chemicals to be sampled
for.

Project Description:
In 2004, the groundwater study results and recommendations will be translated into planning policy.
Generic policy drafts will be provided to municipal partners by the planning sub-committee who are
working through the reports. Groundwater monitoring will also continue in 2004, with water level
and water quality data from all wells available to partner agencies as it is collected. Baseflwo
surveys are planned for 2004 to further examine the interaction between groundwater and surface
water in the basin.
4. Watershed Monitoring (Refer to Attached Table "A" for Detailed Breakdown by Project)
Watershed monitoring programs provide baseline data as to what is happening in terms of stream
flows, groundwater, wetlands and terrestrial and aquatic habitat. Watershed Monitoring is a critical
component in understanding the long term impacts of development patterns and the effectiveness of
management programs arising from watershed plans.
LSRCA 2003 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
a) Surface Water Quality
Water quality and quantity monitoring is on-going and efforts to establish a watershed wide health
monitoring program have been successful. Monitoring involves the cost to monitor macro
invertebrates, water quality and water quantity of the tributaries entering Lake Simcoe to assess
ecosystem health. Specific activities involve maintaining and sampling 11 monitoring stations on
9 river systems, analysing the collected data and providing annual updates on monitoring activity and
results. Plans also include a new initiative to establish a bio-map protocol for sampling macro-
invertebrates within watercourses and developing water quality indices to predict water quality and
ecosystem health. Improved methods to involve the public and communicate the results will also
be undertaken.
Township of Oro Medonte staff have been participating in the process through the Lake Simcoe
Environmental Management Strategy technical committee and monitoring working group. Efforts
to upgrade existing monitoring stations are also being undertaken and will require a phased approach
until 2004.
Discussions with the Ministry of Environment (MaE) to reinstate the Provincial Water Quality
Network (PWQN) have also been successful. Both a watershed wide benthic invertebrate and
aquatic rapid bio-assessment sampling program were continued in 2003. .
b) Open Lake Monitoring
Water quality monitoring of the lake has continued in 2003. Major efforts are underway to develop
a comprehensive watershed model entitled Integrated Watershed Management Model (IWMM)
which will provide resource managers and planners with the information necessary to make
management and land use planning decisions. The model will predict the water quality and quantity
impacts associated with existing and future land use changes and is essential for the development of
Page 5
Township of Oro-Medonte
February 25, 2004
an integrated water management strategy for the watershed. The model can be used at a sub-
watershed scale and will conform to the Provincial requirements being placed on municipalities in
the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. It will also assist in the development of surface water
source protection planning.
Phase 1 of the IWMM was initiated in June of 2002 with the development of a partnership with
Environment Canada, Trent University, Greenland International Consulting Inc., the Ministry ofthe
Environment and the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority.
Municipal involvement on the Steering Committee began in 2003 with Phase 2. Phase 1 progress
has included resource mapping of the test watershed (Black River), development of hydrological
surface and groundwater models and additional flood plain mapping.
c) Water Response
Data collection is well underway and efforts to update rating curves, develop and populate a database
needed to establish predictive models are on-going. A water response team has been established
and a core technical committee has been formed to examine the current status of the monitoring
network and address any problems. As part of the 2003 work plan the Authority identified the
requirements to implement a fully automated data collecting system to provide the metrics necessary
to predict water response. The Authority will discuss these requirements with its partners for
implementation in future phases.

Water Monitoring Stations within the Township Oro-Medonte
A water quality station is located on the Hawkstone Creek. Water quality parameters are
measured at the station, and in 2004, a gauge to monitor flow will be established at the site.

LSRCA DELIVERABLES 2004
An important aspect of any remedial program is monitoring ecosystem health to ensure that progress
is being made towards the achievement of environmental goals and objectives. The need exists to
continue the monitoring program and report the progress to the public. As part of the State of the
Watershed Report a list of 21 performance measures has been established which are to be updated
annually with progress reports to the public and our partners. This will improve our accountability
to both the public and our partners The goals ofthe monitoring program for 2004 will be:
1. quantify short and long term trends in water quality;
2. qualify the variation associated with seasonality;
3. determine the effectiveness of remedial proj ects; and,
4. continue to identify and quantify localized water quality problems such as spills or runoff
from non-point sources.
5. report back to all partners and the public the results.
To accomplish these goals for such a large and diverse watershed area, the monitoring program needs
to be flexible and cost effective. The sampling program needs to address both wet and dry weather
conditions to provide a more accurate overall picture of water quality in the watersheds. To meet
these requirements a network of base sampling sites have been established largely composed of
previously sampled Provincial Water Quality Network (PWQN) sites. Most of the PWQN sampling
sites have over twenty years of data which will facilitate the determination of long term trends.

involve sampling and maintaining 13 monitoring stations on 11 rivers, and analyzing the data and
providing annual updates on water quality entering the lake. In 2004, the existing water quality
results will be combined with the results for new sampling initiatives for macro-invertebrates and
the fishery throughout the watershed to develop a three tiered water quality indices to predict water
quality and ecosystem health. Improved methods to involve the public and communicate the results
will also be undertaken.

b) Open Lake Monitoring
Project Partners:
Watershed Municipalities, Ministry of Environment
Project Description:
Open Lake Monitoring includes the cost to continue monitoring water quality in Lake Simcoe and
efforts to develop a predictive water quality model to assist in the production of management
scenarios and lake strategies. Specific activities involve data collection, entering and analyzing the
data, model review and development, model calibration using Lake Simcoe water quality results,
and the development of management strategies to address new or emerging problems. In 2003,
phase I ofthe Integrated Water Management Model (IWMM) proj ect was completed. This three year
project will provide a watershed wide tool to predict changes in surface water quality associated with
changes in land use. This project is slated to continue in 2004 with the completion of a nutrient
management module with testing and calibration scheduled into 2005. Once completed this tool can
predict changes on a watershed or sub-watershed scale.
c) Water Response
Project Partners:
Watershed Municipalities, Province of Ontario, Department Fisheries & Oceans
Project Description:
The Conservation Authority has organized a water response team to address the issue of low flow
(drought) through a Water Response Program. Major effort will be undertaken in 2004 automate
the gauging stations and establish protocols for automatically issuing lower water response orders.
Expenditures associated with this program assist in maintaining a database and establish predictive
models. Results will be provided to the water response team and translated into protective policies
addressing surface water takings. This information is essential to allow us to review and provide
comments on new development proposals on behalf of our municipalities. Future activities involve
developing a procedure and code for displaying the automated information and providing it on the
web.
5. Natural Heritage Mapping
The Authority acts as advisers on development applications under the Planning Act as these pertain
to Provincial policies on natural heritage, natural hazards, fisheries and groundwater. As background
information the Authority undertakes Natural Heritage inventories throughout the watershed. Natural
Heritage has many components: valley lands, woodlands, areas of natural and scientific
interest(ANSI), wildlife habitat, wetlands and habitat of endangered, threatened and vulnerable
species. As part of this process inventory data bases are created through analysis and mapping,
produced from internal Conservation Authorities initiatives and incorporating planning,
environmental and engineering studies that are received from outside agencies such as consultants,
non-government organizations, individuals and municipalities. The quality of the advice provided
to our watershed municipalities depends on the accuracy and integrity ofthe science that underlies
it, science that has to be defensible in public forums such as the OMB.

Project Description:
In 1998 the province of Ontario fOffi1ally adopted the use of a new infoffi1ation Natural Heritage
System known as the Ecological Land Classification System (ELCS) which would be used to
provide planners and resources managers with better infoffi1ation on which to base land use decision.
ELCS is based on the ecosystem principle that "everything is connected to everything else" and
defines the linkages between resources. This infoffi1ation is extremely important to the Conservation
Authority and municipalities to ensure the protection of natural resources within the watershed.
Therefore it is recommended that the Conservation Authority identify, classify and map ecological
land units within the Lake Simcoe watershed and provide this infoffi1ation to our member
municipalities.
The actual mapping ofthe Oro-Medonte portion ofthe Lake Simcoe Watershed is scheduled
to be undertaken in 2004.
6. Natural Hazard Mapping
Adding and updating river line and shoreline flood and erosion hazard mapping is the basis for
Conservation Authority regulatory responsibilities. The Conservation Authorities across Ontario
will be subject to a new generic water management regulation in 2004. Existing mapping must be
brought into confoffi1ity with the new regulation within 2 years following proclamation of the
regulation which is anticipated to be cabinet approved sometime in 2004. Multi year costs include
work on the hydrology and hydraulics necessary for updating flood line infoffi1ation and undertaking
dynamic beach modelling studies.
The Conservation Authorities playa critical role in reviewing development applications to ensure
that growth occurs in the most sustainable manner. The Authorities provide comments to
municipalities regarding flood susceptibility and environmental constraints to development.
Recently, this role has become more critical given the transfer of provincial planning responsibilities
to municipal governments.
To enable the Conservation Authority to provide accurate environmental infoffi1ation, flood plain
mapping studies and an Environmentally Significant Areas (ESA) Study were completed in the
1970's and 1980's. However, this infoffi1ation is now outdated, yet it is critical to providing
Page 10
Township of Oro-Medonte
February 25, 2004
infonnation for environmental protection regarding urban growth and development.
LSRCA 2003 ACCOMPLISHMENTS
Modifications to the Fill Line Mapping are to be carried out in conjunction with proposed revisions
to the provincial criteria for Regulations. To this end the Authority participated in a provincial and
region wide ortho-imagery and high quality Digital Terrain Mapping (DTM) project this spring.
The mapping project which is now completed provides the base for the development of the new
hazard mapping at a much reduced cost. The majority of the project will be carried over in 2004
and 2005 when the actual hazard mapping exercise will be undertaken using the DTM, and
delineated wetlands, valleylands, and other natural heritage features. Floodline mapping is not
available within the existing study area but could be considered in the development offuture updates
of the hazard maps depending upon available funding.

to use the orthophoto base mapping to build the new maps that will delineate the extent of the
Authority's resource interest and define the area to be regulated. This initial phase will add
infonnation such wetlands. Subsequent phases will delineate steep slopes and significant valleys.
Opportunities for public review of the mapping will be made prior to completion and submission to
the Minister of Natural Resources for approval.
7. Watershed Specific Projects/Studies
Lake Simcoe Environmental Management Strategy (LSEMS) Project
Lake Simcoe is a valuable natural resource estimated at being worth $200 million annually to the
local economy. In September 2000, the Board of Directors ofthe Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority issued an urgent call to the community regarding the protection of the Lake Simcoe
watershed.
In order to keep Lake Simcoe healthy and clean, the annual phosphorus target for the lake needs to
be 75 metric tonnes, a reduction from the current 100 metric tonnes per year. To reduce phosphorus
Page 11
Township of Oro-Medonte
February 25, 2004
pollution from entering Lake Simcoe, at least one metric of phosphorus must be reduced each year
for the next 20 years.
Phosphorus reduction will be completed through the Lake Simcoe Environmental Management
Strategy partnership, led by the LSRCA and involving:
. the federal government
· the provincial government
· watershed municipalities
. Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority
. Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Foundation (community groups and businesses)
The Authority will lead an annual campaign to deliver a comprehensive water quality program that
will include:
. watershed planning and plan review
· environmental policy development
. watershed regulation and enforcement
· watershed monitoring
· reforestation and regeneration
· environmental land acquisition
. landowner projects for a clean Lake Simcoe
. community awareness of watershed health
All programs will be performance measurement based and focused on achieving the Lake Simcoe
target of 75 metric tonnes of phosphorus.
7 (a) Lake Simcoe Water Quality Improvement Program
LSRCA 2003 ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
The Lake Simcoe Water Quality Improvement program provides individual landowners with
technical and financial assistance to undertake remedial projects to improve water quality and
environmental health. A total of nine (9) the Lake Simcoe Water Quality Improvement Program
projects have been approved within the municipality of Oro-Medonte at a total estimated cost of
$42,000.
The projects include one (1) private septic systems, five (5) clean water diversion project two (2)
well head protections and one (1) livestock restriction. Funding to complete the projects was
provided from a variety of sources including the municipality, the provincial healthy futures program
and the landowners. Based on the municipal contribution in 2003 the municipality has received
value of just over $5 dollars for each dollar invested.

Project Description:
The Lake Simcoe Water Quality Improvement Program (LSWQIP) provides financial assistance
for landowners within the Lake Simcoe watershed. LSWQIP represents a continuing effort by the
Conservation Authority to achieve the LSEMS goal "to improve and protect the health of the Lake
Simcoe watershed ecosystem and improve associated recreational opportunities by:
Restoring a self sustaining coldwater fishery,
Improving water quality,
Reducing phosphorus loads to Lake Simcoe, and,
Protecting natural heritage features and functions. "
A wide range of items are eligible under the LSWQIP program. Landowners can obtain financial
and technical assistance to:
1. install milkhouse waste and manure storage systems;
2. construct barnyard runoff control and clean water diversions;
3. undertake erosion control projects on cultivated land;
4. fence livestock to restrict them from streams, and install crossings and alternate
watering systems;
5. fix streambank erosion problems, and establish buffers strips; and
naturalize areas identified as having a high potential for pollution;
6. replace faulty septic systems;
7. undertake nutrient management plans;
8. decommission abandoned wells.
Municipalities are also eligible to receive funding towards the construction of stonnwater
management retrofits. Through these projects the Authority can achieve the LSEMS phosphorus
reduction target and it's own mandate to protect, maintain and improve the health and quality of
Lake Simcoe.

Municipalities of York and Durham, County of Simcoe, Cities of Barrie, Orillia and Kawartha
Lakes, the Towns of Bradford-West Gwillimbury, New Tecumseth and Innisfil and the Townships
of Oro Medonte and Ramara. LSEMS focuses on; efforts to control and reduce phosphorus
loadings entering Lake Simcoe, a monitoring program to assess the changes in the ecological health
ofthe lake and it's tributaries, and a public education\outreach program. Specific activities include:
minimizing new sources of phosphorus loadings associated with urban development through the use
of regulations; reducing existing phosphorus loadings from agriculture by initiating capital proj ects;
continued monitoring of the lake, rivers and fishery; and educating and mobilizing the community
to action.
a) Administration/Communications: Funding for staffing and expenses involved to
coordinate the activities ofLSEMS.
b) LSEMS Basin Wide Watershed Plan: A State of the Lake Simcoe Watershed Report
was the first step in the development of a Comprehensive Basin Wide Watershed Plan for
Lake Simcoe. The State of the Watershed Report is completed and includes the collection
and analysis of data to determine the location, area, significance, sensitivity, linkages and
functions of the existing and future pressures/stressors within the watershed that are
impacting and/or threatening ecosystem health. The management strategy will involve all
LSEMS partners and include an extensive public participation process.
8. Stewardship
Implementation of planning strategies can only be effective by involving private landowners. Over
the years, Conservation Authorities have enjoyed a good deal of success working with private
landowners on their lands to improve wildlife habitat, water quality, fisheries, forest health and
erosion control. The success of stewardship programs has been due to the availability of incentive
dollars to bring private dollars into projects that enhance and restore watershed health.
Funding is provided by the municipality through the Lake Simcoe Water Quality
Improvement program see 7(a).

One of the objective ofthe Conservation Authority is to protect the water resources within our area
of jurisdiction. Sometimes the acquisition of property is the only way to ensure the protection of
key environmentally sensitive areas, including wetlands, ESA"s and recharge areas. By establishing
and building up a land acquisition reserve fund the required resources would be available when
properties become available for purchase

This program is one of long standing and is integrated among conservation authorities across the
GT A, and has a proven track record for effectiveness. Flood warning systems must be kept current
with new technology to provide optimum response time for major rainfall and snow belt events to
minimize loss of life and property damage. Rapid urban development in York Region means that
flood forecasting and warning systems must be continually upgraded to reflect changing watershed
conditions.
Structures which are owned, maintained and/or operated by Conservation Authorities, which
mitigate the risk to life and property damage from flooding. This includes dams, flood channel
works and dykes. LSRCA currently owns and maintains two flood control structures - Pefferlaw
Dam and the Fairy Lake Dam located at Wesley Brooks Memorial Conservation Area. Budget is
to establish a reserve from which to undertake emergency repairs.

integrated throughout the organization. Hardware and software requirements include network server
replacement, back-up and security upgrades and updates to software.
12. Conservation Lands Management
Management plans for conservation lands owned and operated by the Authority are fundamental to
ensuring public support for their policies and programs. Development and review of management
plans must include public participation and consider environmental quality and constraints, health
and sensitivity of existing natural resources, public use, and recreational development opportunities,
all of which must meet the growing needs of the watershed population.
LSRCA currently owns over 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of land throughout the Lake Simcoe
Watershed.
The land is retained primarily in a natural state for flood control, erosion control and natural resource
management.
There are no planned projects in this category.

Dear Mayor and Council:
NVCA 2004 Proaram Service Summary for Oro-Medonte
Enclosed is a brief overview of the program services provided to Oro-Medonte by/in
partnership with the NVCA. Through the development of our Business Plan, the
program services and strategies have been approved by our Full Authority, with
input from all our watershed member appointees (representatives). For more details
please refer to the enclosed Business Plan, and associated proposed budget.
It is very significant to note that the Oro-Medonte land base and work load/service
delivery has significantly increased from 2003 to 2004. For instance the land base
within NVCA has increased from 17% to 78%. Likewise your assessment has
increased from $0.3 billion to $1.5 billion dollars or from 2.07% of the NVCA
apportionment levy to 9.06% a 4.4 fold increase. This has increased your share of
the NVCA general levy by 4.4 times. The total general levy paid in 2003, not
included in the pro-rated expanded lands, was $30,225. The increased
apportionment share would represent a 2003 levy based on the new assessment at
$132,990. Please note that in 2003 the total levy paid by your Municipality included
$8,331 for the NVCA new Administration & Workshop buildings. Your proposed
2004 total general levy is $127,264.32.
Following is a brief summary of the services provided for the residents of Oro-
Medonte by the NVCA. Every effort is being made to ensure these services are
integrated with existing programs including: Lake Simcoe Region Conservation
Authority, Ministry of Natural Resource, Ontario Geologial Survey Group, Ministry
of Environment, Health Unit and the Severn Sound Environmental Association:

1.3 Governance and Organization
The NVCA's watershed exceeds 3564 sq. km., with jurisdiction in 18 municipalities. Based on the size
of the municipality, a representative(s) is appointed as a member of the Board of the NVCA. This Board
forms our Full Authority and is comprised of 26 members. Our members have a very important role and
responsibility to properly represent the interests of their municipalities, consider the interests and needs
of the Conservation Authority, and establish an effective reporting relationship with their municipal
council and staff. The Full Authority approves NVCA policy development and sets the overall direction
and levels of service through the Business Plan and annual budget.
To govern the NVCA efficiently, members of the Full Authority make up 4 Advisory Committees. These
committees give our members the opportunity to fully participate in NVCA governance, enhances
communication and awareness, and improves the Authorities programs and services. The Committees
provide advice and recommendations to the Full Authority and Executive in the following areas:
Communications & Education, Engineering & Technical Services, Planning, and Land &
Water/Stewardship Services. The Executive Committee, which is comprised of the Chair, Vice-Chair
and 5 members of the Full Authority, is responsible for the overall general administration of the Authority
including Financial, Human Resources. Our Organizational chart (following page) depicts our staff and
member relationships.

Watershed management is like a seesaw. We try to maintain watershed health by balancing resource
use and ecosystem health. Excessive emphasize on either end of the seesaw results in a loss of this
balance; healthy economies need healthy environments and vice versa.

Watershed management: A process of maintaining watershed health by balancing social and
economic uses of natural resources with the need to maintain healthy ecosystem function,
quality and quantity of natural features.
Maintaining watershed health is a challenging task. We must characterize our resources and measure
our performance by answering questions like: How much (water, land, habitat, etc.) is enough? What
natural features (if any) are expendable and what needs to be protected or improved? Have we done
enough? Have we succeeded?
Characterizing our resources allows us to build a suite of programs (as described in later sections) that
collectively form a watershed management strategy. Our strategy must address questions like: How
can we better understand our watershed resources, their susceptibility, and value? Considering existing
human activities and pressures associated with predicted rapid growth, how can we protect our water?
Who does what? Who pays for what? How can we use science and technology to help us adapt to
changing roles and responsibilities? How can we effectively communicate with all parties involved in
watershed management? How do we ensure that our governance model and staff resources allow us to
use performance information to adapt our programs as necessary? How can we ensure sufficient
funding to implement priority programs and maintain flexibility to adapt to changing mandates, changing
funding sources, and increasing public expectations?
Our strategy must also recognize local priorities and constraints such as: impairment of surface and
groundwater, rapid growth, climate change, loss of green space, changing mandates, and deteriorating
infrastructure.

A number of financial pressures currently affect all program areas, including:
EI Rising insurance costs (25% increase anticipated in 2004 2,000.)
EI Increased building maintenance costs
EI Increased transportation costs, and building energy costs
EI Salary increases/compensation to keep up with market comparisons
EI Regulated pension increase (was 2% to 6% above YMPE - 2004 TO 2.6% to 8.8% above YMPE)
EI Annual inflation (2.5-3% per year)
The above pressures on fixed operating costs alone will add an estimated $200,000 to our current approximately
$2 million budget. Our challenge over the next three years is to balance increasing costs between user fees and
municipal levy.
In 2003 the member municipalities agreed that there is support for a natural heritage initiative. This initiative has
been implemented in 2003/2004 by the Town of New Tecumseth and the Township of Essa, however, additional
municipal support is required for the program to continue.
All of the above pressures are driven by our rapidly growing population (4%/year) and rapidly growing developed
lands and assessment. In 2003 the NVCA area of jurisdiction expanded to include all of north Oro-Medonte,
representing an approximate increase of 8% in area and assessment. Between 2003 and 2004 the NVCA area of
jurisdiction 'Current Value Assessment' increased by 22.8%. A priority is to review ways to blend Municipal levy
payment increases with assessment growth, ensuring a fair equitable sustained operational funding level for the
Authority; Le., can we set a fixed levy assessment rate? In the following paragraphs, 3 year strategies are
summarized by department.
land Manaaement and Stewardship Services

4. N.V.C.A. CENTRE FOR CONSERVATION -IMPROVING CLIENT
SERVICES
In November 2002 we moved to our new John Hix Conservation Administration Centre at the NVCA Centre for
Conservation. The building has a wonderful environment featuring natural lighting, groundwater heating and
cooling, and bio-filtration of wastewater. We now have a Centre that accommodates all our staff including the
adjacent John L. Jose Learning Centre located at the Tiffin Conservation Area. We can now offer landowners
centralized access to conservation information and project support (such as grants for tree planting and stream
rehabilitation and guidance on how to manage private lands in an environmentally responsible manner).
We continue to work on conservation projects that boost implementation of "Best Management Practices"
(management practices that are both cost effective and result in environmental benefits) on private lands-
projects such as tree planting and fencing livestock from stream valleys.
In the near future, we hope to provide a watershed information system that will give our clients accessible, readily
usable information about the watershed. It will be an internet-based information system that will enable watershed
residents, school children, municipalities and businesses to create current, customizable maps of watershed
areas of interest (showing such items as healthy and unhealthy streams, roads, towns, wetlands, forests,
significant natural areas, and conservation project sites) and download current information on water quality, flood
status, weather and other types of watershed information.

Purpose
The purpose of the Forestry Program is to strategically expand forest cover, recognizing the linkages
between forest cover and healthy terrestrial and aquatic habitats. This program is a mechanism by
which the NVCA strives to achieve Watershed Management Goals.
6.1.1 Program Strategy
The Forestry Program has 3 component sub-programs:
1. Reforestation Program (planting and maintaining trees)
2. Arbour Day Program
3. Managed Forest Program.
The goal of the Reforestation Program is to provide the capacity to plant and maintain tree seedlings in
strategic areas throughout the watershed. Due to the high cost of implementation, the planting of key
riparian areas is made possible only through effective cost-sharing partnerships with municipalities,
interest groups, and the Province of Ontario. The maintenance and expansion of these partnerships is
key in ensuring that we are able to continue our focus on riparian restoration. The NVCA has joined
with other CA's to purchase seedlings in bulk, and works constantly with supplying nurseries to ensure
stock meets genetic and quality standards. Expanding technical and practical abilities for pre-planting
site preparation, and post-planting maintenance of seedlings will increase survival rates and ensure
effective use of limited financial resources.
The Arbour Day Program provides urban watershed residents with access to trees, shrubs, planting
information, and most importantly, direct exposure to the NVCA. Sales are held throughout the
watershed in partnership with various community groups. The proceeds of each sale are split between
the NVCA and the partner through a specific agreement.
The Managed Forest Program gives landowners access to the Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program
(MFTIP). Plans can be written and/or approved on a fee basis. The program provides revenue for the
Forestry Program, and provides resource management information to the forest landowner.
The Forestry Program is linked with the Healthy Waters Program and the Community River Restoration
Programs through the design and implementation of riparian planting projects, providing technical
services that relate to riparian/forest restoration, and the provision of seedling stock for community
groups.
The expansion of reforestation activities requires long term planning and resources, both financial, and
personnel. With a chain of production from seed to planted seedling of 4 years, efforts to expand
reforestation levels to historical levels requires that seed sourcing and collection, nursery production,
planting infrastructure, and planting subsidies all be addressed concurrently. To this end, Conservation
Ontario has formed a Task Group to help in negotiations on a provincial level. These negotiations, with
partners such as Trees Ontario, the Canadian Forest Service, and Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement
Association, could provide long-term resources.

The purpose of the Community River Restoration (CRR) Program is to strategically rehabilitate rivers
working in partnership with local community groups. The CRR Program coordinates projects, which
improve stream health, restore fish and wildlife habitat, and, enhance water quality. This program
provides the technical, financial and project management support that local community groups and
landowners need in order to implement effective river restoration projects. This program is a
mechanism by which the NVCA strives to achieve Watershed Management Goals 1-5 (section 4).
6.2.1 Program Strategy
The CRR Program strategy is to implement river restoration projects/programs by working in
partnership with existing community and special interest groups and through helping to support and
develop new groups. Through the CRR Program, partners are encouraged to implement long-term
focussed river restoration programs (e.g. Boyne River and Beeton Creek Restoration Programs), which
emphasize sound watershed management principles and the concept of "best bang for the buck".
The CRR Program offers support for:
· Development of appropriate/achievable river restoration program goals
· Collection of existing background and new information working in concert with the NVCA's
Watershed Health Monitoring Program
· Development of river restoration plans which identify high-priority candidate sites and strategies
· Establishment of partnerships and negotiation with landowners on high-priority restoration sites
· Development of restoration site plans (including design), proposal writing and costing
. Acquisition of project-specific funds and financial administration
· Acquisition of all required NVCA, Provincial and Federal Permits
· Collection of baseline data for the project site prior to restoration work
· Implementation of restoration projects including project management and site supervision
· Collection of post-construction performance monitoring data and report writing
· Implementation of project maintenance works where required
Three categories of river restoration projects are implemented through the CRR Program.
1. River Reach Restoration
fit Negotiation of riparian land retirement and establishment of "buffer strips" along watercourses
· Negotiation of livestock exclusion projects (implement in concert with Healthy Waters Program)
· Implementation of strategic natural river bank stabilization/habitat enhancement projects needed
to ensure the sustainability of "buffer strips", protect livestock exclusion fencing etc.
· Coordination of high-priority streamside reforestation and community tree plant projects (in
concert with Reforestation Program)
CI Reconstruction of healthy floodplains (where floodplains have been degraded or infilled).
· Reconstruction of natural river channels and new alignments (where channels have been
harmfully altered e.g. Municipal Drains)
Note that these project types are listed in logical order for a restoration site, not in order of importance
within the CRR Program.

The Healthy Waters Program (HWP) is linked to the Reforestation and the Community River
Restoration programs through the implementation of restoration best management practice (BMP)
projects, project funding and technical services that help protect water quality and improve stream
health. The HWP provides financial and staff support for projects such as:
e riparian land retirement (buffer strip establishment). Look at developing a riparian land
retirement incentive program similar to GRCA's.
. livestock exclusion fencing. Look at working with community groups and other partners in order
to access funding and resources for high priority sites.
e priority tree planting (emphasize riparian plantings).
. bank stabilization using natural techniques
e on-line pond decommissioning
G habitat restoration
G community action projects
The Healthy Waters Program relies on the Reforestation and Community River Restoration
programs to achieve the HWP objectives.
6.3.1 Program Strategy
The Healthy Waters Program consists of two main components:
. Community Outreach Program and the
. Grant Incentive Program.
The Community Outreach component focuses on educating the watershed community on stream health
and water quality issues. We will provide the basin residents and municipalities with the necessary
information to increase the uptake of BMPs and to build a better understanding of watershed health
issues and the importance of land & water conservation. Activities include hosting information seminars
and workshops (e.g. Healthy Waters, Healthy Futures), speaking at and attending local events
(agricultural fairs and stakeholder group meetings), and implementing stream health awareness
programs (e.g. Yellow Fish Road Program). This component of the HWP will also produce brochures
and "Conservation" based articles for the local print media to educate the watershed community and to
promote the objectives of the NVCA's HWP.
The Healthy Waters Grant Incentive Program provides financial incentives and technical services to
agricultural and rural landowners and community action groups to implement BMP projects that protect
water quality and improve stream health. The intention of providing grants and technical assistance,
combined with the Community Outreach component, is to increase the uptake of implementing BMPs.
Grant eligible projects are listed in 3. The focus of the 2004 Healthy Waters Program will be to
increase emphasis on working with community groups and other partners in order to supplement
incentive grants provided through Healthy Waters. Partial incentive grants provided through municipal
levy will still be critical for providing project seed money. Without support from Healthy Futures
Funding, levy-based incentive grants will be allocated to high priority private landowner sites only and
to projects where other partners (e.g. community groups) can help to access additional financial
resources.

The purpose of the NVCA's Conservation Lands is assist in long
Nottawasaga valley watershed and ensure the integrity of significant land forms including
Escarpment, Minesing Swamp and the Oak Ridges Moraine. Through financing from provincial
ministries and public/private foundations, an ongoing land acquisition and management program allows
for the education of the general public on the importance of habitat protection as well as ensuring
quality recreational and cultural outings.

6.4.1 Program Strategy
The Conservation Lands Program consists of three main components; Land acquisition, Protection
through Management and Recreational Education. The Land Acquisition component focuses on lands
that have been deemed significant by local, provincial or international agencies and have demonstrated
abilities that offer protection to both ground and surface waters as well as significant flora/fauna habitat.
Some examples may include Provincially significant wetlands, source areas, forested valley lands and
riparian easements along significant waterways.
The Management component captures all aspects of public agency land ownership including hazard
identification and education, preventative maintenance, self-funding opportunities and land use(s)
monitoring. As most of the NVCA's eleven thousand acres are considered wilderness or natural lands
there is a natural attraction to an ever growing numbers of visitors that wish to visit and enjoy. Cliffs,
gorges, caves, hazard trees and the like are all natural realities of our lands. Without them, the
necessary functioning of each natural area would be jeopardized. Through select educational mediums
we inform our land users of the hazards, how to safeguard against them and how they can do their part
to protect the area. To ensure the sustainability of our areas and their use by the general public, we
monitor their use through a number of ways including guest books, annual pass and/or permits and
peak season observation documentation.
The Recreational Education component is a valuable tool that assists in the management of our lands
by keeping the general public aware of our natural resources and why they need to be protected. As
well, through the implementation of permit fees, interpretive hiking trails, canoe launching areas,
historical re-enactments and audio visual presentations we are able to generate user fees that assist in
the funding of this program.
The Conservation Lands program has an obvious tie to all other NVCA programs with its distinct ability
to protect our natural and cultural values. Our watershed landscape is very diverse as are our
conservation areas and the management of each is slightly different but distinctively the same. A
description of our lands are listed below.
Through a variety of select land acquisition programs including the Federal Governments Eco-Gifts
program, Nature Conservancy Canada, the NVCA's Land Planning program and the Provinces
"Environmental Land Acquisition Program" (ELAP), significant properties throughout our watershed
including woodlands, wetlands, valley lands and Niagara Escarpment lands are made available to us.
It is in our best interest to pursue these lands as they not only compliment our current holdings but they
ensure a wide assortment of environmental benefits to our future generations.

The Department has been broken into four separate but closely linked program groups to provide
comprehensive water resource management, to meet delegated responsibilities and to provide
technical support for overall Authority business functions.
The Engineering Program reflects the engineering services provided to the Authority outside of the
MNR Grant program to support programs such as administration of the regulations, non-eligible plan
review and other special projects. The majority of the engineering work program is related to the MNR
flood damage prevention program and the description of the work program is more fully described in
cost centre 430.
The Geographic Information System (GIS) and IT Support Program provides GIS services to support all
of the Authority programs. In addition this program provides IT support services for the computer work
stations, network system and internet connections.
The Environmental Monitoring Program provides both aquatic and terrestrial biological support in three
program areas, natural heritage, aquatic health monitoring and water quality monitoring (surface and
groundwater).
The MNR Grant Program is the largest centre and represents a work program to:
III maintain and operative the Authority's flood control structures
EI develop and operate a flood forecasting and warning program
EI preparation of watershed plans and planning documents to prevent development on hazardous
flood prone areas
The business plan financial forecasts for the Engineering and Technical Services Program is more fully
described in the following sections.
8.1 Engineering (400)
The Engineering program comprises of the engineering services provided by the NVCA outside of the
programs offered under the Flood and Erosion Hazard Management (MNR Grant Program). These
include plan review, engineering review under the Authority regulations and special projects.
Plan review is the major component in this program area. On an annual basis, engineering staff review
many engineering reports for plan review as outlined below and approximately 250 applications under
the regulations.

Engineering for the NVCA is presently being provided by the Water Resource Technologist and the
Director of Engineering and Technical services. In 2004 one more full time water resource engineer is
being requested and will be dedicated to plan review to deal with the high work load in this area.
Funding for the position will come mainly from planning user fees and the remaining portion from the
MNR grant program.
Special Projects includes a number of activities related to delivery of non-core programs of mutual
conservation authority, municipal and provincial interest. Engineering staff participated in the following
projects in 2003:
CD South Simcoe Groundwater Study
49 City of Barrie Erosion and Sediment Control Pilot Project
49 Nutrient Management Pilot Project
49 Angus Flood Plain Mapping
CD ISWMS Model Development
e Innisfil Creek Subwatershed Plan
e Beeton Secondary Plan
e New Tecumseth Development Project
e Alliston Industrial Secondary Plan
I>> Low Water Response Program
49 Innisfil Low Flow Monitoring Program
Every year our municipalities have special projects that require input from NVCA engineering staff. In
2004 there are a number of special projects that are ongoing or may be started such as the Beeton
Secondary Plan, Generic Regulations, Nutrient Management Pilot Project and the City of Barrie Erosion
and Sediment Control Pilot Project and the South Simcoe Groundwater Study.
Special projects are typically taken on for two reasons:
They provide an opportunity for matched funding, thereby allowing us to accomplish more within our
existing budget. They relate to changing CA roles, political priorities, and public expectations
It is quite likely that new projects will arise as CA and provincial roles in groundwater management,
protection of drinking water, managing water allocation, and water monitoring are clarified. We need to
maintain flexibility to deliver projects that are not immediately seen as core business but are of mutual
CA, municipal, and provincial interest and reflect changing CA responsibilities.

The Authority has learned the value of this powerful tool in the implementation of all of the Authority
projects and programs, The NVCA is a partner in a data sharing co-operative with the provincial
government, and our local and regional municipalities. This further enhances the databases that are
available for the participating members to employ.
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are specialized computer systems used for the storage,
retrieval, analysis, and visualization of large volumes of spatial or map type data. GIS combines layers
of data that can be transformed into information about a place, to give you a better understanding of
that place which is used in wise management of our resources.
One of the main benefits of GIS is improved management of your organization and its resources. A GIS
can link data sets together by common locational framework, such as an address, which helps
departments and agencies share their data. By creating a shared database, one department and
agency can benefit from the work of another-data can be collected once and used many times.
The old adage "better information leads to better decisions" is true for GIS. A GIS is not just an
automated decision making system but a suite of tools to query, analyze, and visualize data in support
of the decision making process.
At the NVCA, GIS will be used to support most of the programs and projects, such as forestry, fisheries
management, regulations, and many engineering applications such as the development of hydrologic
computer models,

A long-range vision of the Authority is pursuing the development of the Tiffin Centre for Conservation.
The vision includes enhancing the Authority's ability to communicate information related to conservation
to the public. Part of the strategy is the use of the internet as a tool. Software is available through GIS
that will allow the Authority to link our databases in the GIS system, interactively to the internet
audience.
IT Support Program
This program will also perform an important function to operate and maintain the Authority's computer
systems. This will include maintenance of the new network system, data backups, computer and
software upgrades, internet conductivity and problem solving. Keeping the network and computers
operating smoothly and efficiently is a crucial function
Staff work with an IT consultant on an as needed basis to help guide our network programming to meet
the needs of our organization. More work is required in developing security systems, internet
conductivity and file structures.
A capital works program is also being developed to permit regular upgrades of computer resources for
both work stations and network server in a long term budget program. By planning for upgrades in a
systematic manner, the Authority can properly budget for these expenses. It is assumed that computers
should be upgrades on a three year cycle and the network system every five years. This component is
explained in more detail in the capital works section of the business plan.
Presently our internet service is provided through low speed telephone lines. The amount of internet
traffic created by 25 staff for e-mail and file movement compounded by the file sizes generated by our
software systems over taxes the current internet system. In 2004, it is planned to evaluate various
options for high speed internet conductivity particularly with the optical cable that presently runs down
the 8th Line and will make future recommendations for upgrading this service.

Environmental Monitoring integrates previous (2003 Business Plan) Watershed I
Health Monitoring, Natural Heritage System Development, and Special Projects programs. The
Watershed Monitoring program can be divided into five components: Biomonitoring, Provincial Water .1
Quality Monitoring Network (PWQMN), Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network (PGMN), Instream
Temperature Monitoring, Natural Heritage Strategy and Special Studies. These components are
directly related to our four objectives. The purpose and strategy, personnel needs and financial forecast I
for each of these programs is described in sections 7.3.2.1-7.2.1.3.

Watershed Monitoring
Purpose
The Environmental Monitoring Program includes a number of activities related to the collection,
storage, analysis, and reporting of data related to watershed health.
Environmental Monitoring is directly related to our four objectives. It classifies watershed health and
supports other programs by providing two essential information components: surveillance data and
program performance data. Collected "surveillance" information answers questions such as: "Which
streams are healthy? Which are unhealthy? How is their health changing from stream reach to stream
reach and from year to year?" This type of information is vital to the authority; it identifies watershed
health issues and helps to shape our programs. An excellent example of how this process works is the
Healthy Waters program which protects healthy streams and improves impaired streams, based on the
results of our monitoring program.
The "performance" information we collect answers questions like: Are our programs resulting in stream
health improvements? Do biological communities actually respond favourably to livestock fencing and
dam decommissioning projects? Do our development and planning policies protect streams?
Program Strategy
The Watershed Health Monitoring Program has been assessing stream health since 1996. We use a
multidisciplinary approach to stream classification. Our best professional judgement of stream health is
made based on a synthesis of all information we have available for a site. Since 1999, we have
amassed a significant database on biological communities (using biomonitoring), water chemistry
(through both our own programs and the PWQMN) and stream temperature. The PGMN is a new
partnership with the Ministry of the Environment that will allow us to monitor groundwater levels and
groundwater quality in key aquifers throughout the watershed. Our Natural Heritage Strategy projects
will assist municipalities in protecting the natural heritage systems which ultimately support our
significant terrestrial and aquatic resources. Special projects such as subwatershed plans and new
initiatives such as source protection planning will be undertaken as opportunities and priorities emerge
over time. The six components of the Watershed Monitoring program are described below.
Biomonitoring
The biomonitoring program will continue in 2004. Similar to 2003, we will conduct bi-annual sampling
at 30 sites (60 total samples). We will continue our participation in the Ontario Benthos Biomonitoring
Network and work with Chris Jones, MOE and others to refine biomonitoring analysis in an attempt to
answer "Why is this site impaired?" We will work with Land Management & Stewardship Services and
Planning to further develop the biomonitoring network within the watershed to address issues such as:
long term monitoring, development monitoring, stewardship project monitoring, possible extension into
new service areas (Oro-Medonte) and integration with other monitoring networks (Le. PWQMN, stream
gauge).

In 2004, we will continue to monitor eleven stations within the watershed on a monthly basis during
spring, summer and fall (April through November; eight total samples/station). Station distribution is as
follows: three stations on the Nottawasaga River (upper, middle and lower sections) and eight stations
situated near the confluence of major tributaries with the Nottawasaga River/Georgian Bay (Willow
Creek, Lamont Creek, Pretty River, Mad River, Innisfil Creek, Bailey/Beeton Creek, Boyne River and
Pine River). We will investigate possible changes to the sampling schedule and incorporation of
instream flow measurements (where feasible) to capture key events such as snowmelt, spring and fall
rainfall events and summer thunderstorm events in an attempt to capture a fuller range of water quality
conditions within the watershed. We will also investigate ways by which this network can be better
integrated with other monitoring networks (i.e. biomonitoring, stream gauge).
We will investigate the implementation of recommendations found in Conservation Ontario's Discussion
Paper "Recommendations for Monitoring Ontario's Water Quality" (March, 2003). Additional funding
may be required to increase our sampling from eight samples/station/year to 12 samples/station/year.
Additional sampling would allow us to sample temporal stressors such as snowmelt events, spring
storms, summer thunderstorm and fall storm events within the watershed. E. coli sampling is also
recommended (12 samples/station/year); however, this analysis is currently not funded by MOE
through the PWQMN. This sampling could support emerging CA objectives related to the protection of
human health and drinking water.
Provincial Groundwater Monitoring Network (PGMN)
In 2003, the PGMN was initiated within the NVCA watershed. Our portion of the network currently
consists of 13 wells at seven sites. Other possible well sites are being investigated to extend coverage
across the entire watershed; however, there is a concern regarding the amount of staff time required to
conduct this program. Field tasks associated with network operation include bi-annual static water level
checks, annual water quality testing and minor maintenance at each well. Administrative tasks include
data management and associated quality control.
In 2004, we will investigate the implementation of recommendations found in Conservation Ontario's
Discussion Paper "Recommendations for Monitoring Ontario's Water Quality" (March, 2003). E. coli
sampling is recommended at each well site; however, this analysis is currently not funded by MOE
through the PWQMN.
Instream Temperature Monitoring
In 2004, we will continue to monitor instream temperatures within the watershed using a combination of
dataloggers and rapid assessment protocols. We will develop a long-term monitoring program that is
integrated with other NVCA monitoring networks and consolidate existing databases.
Natural Heritage Strategy
In 2003, we made significant strides with regard to our capacity to develop natural heritage strategies.
A terrestrial ecologist was hired on contract to assist with strategy development. Through the Town of
New Tecumseth Natural Heritage Strategy, we developed a pilot natural heritage strategy based on the
provincial standard Ecological Land Classification protocol which assigns significance to natural
features using a landscape-level approach modeled through GIS applications. This approach assesses
natural features using parameters such as size, shape, adjacent land use influence, proximity,
community diversity, slope, surface water and groundwater. We have developed a defendable process
for ranking habitat units and determining which ones are significant, requiring protection from
incompatible uses. The next phase of the strategy be an implementation phase in which our staff will
work with municipal planners to build planning policy.
The natural heritage strategy model will allow a municipality to model the effects of a proposed
development on the natural heritage system and, conversely, allow stewardship groups (including our

Additional staff expertise developed in part through development of natural heritage strategies
allowed us to enhance our review of planning applications and will allow us to provide technical support
for municipalities in venues such as the Ontario Municipal Board.
Special Projects
Special Projects includes a number of activities related to delivery of non-core programs of mutual
conservation authority, municipal and/or provincial interest.
Healthy Futures, CURB, Provincial Water Quality and Groundwater Monitoring Networks are examples
of programs that began as special projects. They arose through cost sharing opportunities after annual
budgets had been set but fit well within our four objectives so staff were directed to take them on within
existing program areas. Over time they evolved into core business and (with the exception of the now
defunct CURB Program) are described in appropriate sections of this business plan.
Special projects are typically taken on for two reasons: they provide an opportunity for matched
funding, thereby allowing us to accomplish more within our existing budget and they relate to changing
CA roles, political priorities, and public expectations
It is quite likely that new projects will arise as CA and provincial roles in groundwater management,
protection of drinking water, managing water allocation, and water monitoring are clarified. We need to
maintain flexibility to deliver projects that are not immediately seen as core business but are of mutual
CA, municipal, and provincial interest and reflect changing CA responsibilities.
Several special projects are currently underway and with clarifications on provincial/CA roles in water
management imminent, we anticipate additional projects over the next three years. Two likely areas of
mutual provincial, CA and municipal areas include Source Water Protection planning (legislation
through Ontario Ministry of Environment is forthcoming) and an enhanced CA role in subwatershed-
based review of Permits to Take Water.
In 2004, the following special studies in support of NVCA initiatives will be undertaken:
1/1 Continue to assist Planning in preparation of the Innisfil Creek Subwatershed Study
iii continue to assist Land Management & Stewardship Services with preparation of Tiffin Centre
Management Plan (natural heritage component)
iii assist Planning in development of NVCA Wetlands Policy including investigating potential for
mapping unidentified wetlands within the watershed
iii investigate potential for moving from traditional NVCA Watershed Health monitoring report to
standardized Conservation Ontario report card protocol
iii continue to provide administrative support of South Simcoe Groundwater Partnership

The primary objects of the program are to prevent loss of to minimize social disruption and
minimize property damage within the watershed caused by natural hazards such as flooding, erosion
and unstable slopes. We are one of the key players in a broader provincial and national framework that
is attempting to develop communities that are much more resilient to disaster and disruption. This
program has been designed to meet those broad objects and to meet our delegated responsibilities
through the Province of Ontario. This includes:
II The operation, minor maintenance and preventative maintenance of flood control structures;
II Operation, minor maintenance and preventative maintenance of erosion control structures;
II Operation of a flood forecasting and warning system;
II Operation of an ice management program;
II Watershed and floodplain management related to the provincial hazards policy including plan
input, watershed & subwatershed studies, regulatory permitting, technical studies; and
. Administration related to the above tasks.
To successfully implement the strategy for this program, the following general tasks have been
identified as high priorities for this program. Each task has been listed and is more fully described in the
subsequent text.
· Updating of "Operation and Maintenance" manuals and documentation for each of the NVCA
water control structures;
II Expansion and optimization of our existing network of stream and weather monitoring systems
and the integration of that network with other issues such as low flow, fisheries, water supply,
water quality, and dam operations;
II Continued development and subsequent testing of the ISWMS flood forecasting program;
II Development of a Flood Vulnerable Area database as a component of the flood forecasting and
warning program;
<<I Nottawasaga Valley Watershed Plan 5 year Update including preparation of an updated
watershed hydrologic model;
<<I Continued development and implementation of comprehensive watershed engineering
standards.
The Authority operates a number of water control structures and erosion control works and has a
delegated responsibility and legal liability to maintain the function of the various works. This is a high
risk area for the Authority and as such it will receive high priority for staff time and efforts in the coming
years. In 2004 it is planned to start on the development of detailed operation and maintenance manuals
for each of our structures. Staff undertake annual dam inspections and implement regular maintenance
as required.
The Authority maintains equipment and co-operative access to our federal-provincial-municipal surface
water monitoring network that permits the long term archiving and analysis of stream flow and climate
variables such as rainfall and air temperature and provides us with flood forecasting and warning
capability. Our focus will be on the optimization of the Authority's network of monitoring equipment and
resources. We will maintain high quality data input to existing programs such as the "snow survey" and
the "low flow" monitoring & flood response programs.
The NVCA has a delegated responsibility to operate a flood forecasting and warning program. We are
expected to meet provincial standards for its operation and will take steps to ensure compatibility with
adjacent Conservation Authorities through a GT A specific standards document. In 2004 we plan to

undertake testing and verification ISWMS model's predictive capability on our
confidence in the modelled results vs. observed results builds, further and more
watershed response information and will be available to our stakeholders.
The GT A Conservation Authorities Flood Group has developed minimum standards for
forecasting and warning. The standards have been adopted by the NVCA. It is necessary to develop a
strategic plan to guide the NVCA forward in obtaining all of the minimum standards.
In 1986, the NVCA in partnership with the MNR and Environment Canada initiated a comprehensive
hydrology study of the basins within our jurisdiction for the primary purpose of providing flood
magnitude on all watercourses for a range of design events and for our Regional or Regulatory Storm
(event). The final document was entitled "Watershed Hydrology Study for Nottawasaga, Pretty and
Batteaux Rivers, Black Ash, Silver and Sturgeon Creeks" and was prepared by MacLaren Plansearch
Inc. Both current and future urban land use conditions were investigated and the routing effects of
Minesing Swamp and the impacts of agricultural drainage within Innisfil were investigated. This
document and its associated technical appendices and models is "key" to all floodplain management
decisions the Authority and others make. It is used daily to make risk based decisions such as bridge &
road design, permitting, environmental assessment and stormwater management. As 17 years have
passed since this document was prepared, the future land use horizons have significantly changed,
official plans and zoning by-laws have been updated, the resource management issues have changed
and the data upon which the analysis was based has improved and lengthened.
In 2004 we plan to continue work on the Nottawasaga River Watershed Plan Update. In particular we
would like to prepare an updated hydrologic computer model of the watershed and investigate the
impacts of new development on flooding and erosion. A of the components of the Watershed Plan will
be reviewed and updated as necessary. This is a work in progress and may require a number of years
to complete.
We are proposing to prepare an updated hydrologic computer model of the watershed to bring in not
only targets and design flow from a flood plain perspective, but also environmental flow targets and
thresholds for a host of other issues that include permit to take water, erosion, water balance and
stormwater management.
Concurrently or shortly after the hydrology study is prepared, we also propose to prepare an updated
set of engineering standards related to preparation of hydraulic models, floodplain mapping,
methodology and maintenance to our "master" level hydrology model, erosion thresholds and
stormwater management. Once in place, the Authority will be in a position to evaluate all types of
proposals based on watershed, subwatershed and possibly reach level targets and thresholds for peak
flow, volume, erosion, water balance and environmental impact in a highly defensible position.
The province may move forward with the development of Generic Regulations. The NVCA will be
required to identify all areas within their area of jurisdiction the areas the Conservation Authority
regulations will apply to. This will require every watercourse right up to the headwater stream to be
mapped with a sufficient area to cover both flooding, slope stability and environmental issues. The
NVCA is submitting a request to the province for additional funding to undertake this project in 2004 if it
goes ahead.
It is anticipated that in 2004 considerable more time will be allocated to our flood forecasting and
warning system. The GTA flood forecasting and warning standards have been adopted by the NVCA
and we will be preparing a strategy for implementing these standards in 2004.

Township of Oro-Medonte
Box 100
Oro, ON
LOL 2XO
Dear Ms. Zieleniewski,
RE: RENEWAL OF THE SEVERN SOUND ENVIRONMENT AL ASSOCIATION
AGREEMENT
The Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) was founded in 1997 to support the work
of the Severn Sound Remedial Action Plan (RAP) and to provide environmental services in the
watershed draii1ing to Severn Sound. The Township ofOro-Medonte has been a valued signator'
and project partner to the SSEA. The Township has supported the implementation of the Severn
Sound RAP .since the plan was developed and released. We appreciate the efforts of Ralph
Hough, your representative (and Chair) on the Association.
The attached 2003 Update provides a summary of activities of the SSEA with special emphasis
on items of interest to the Township. The SSEA commitment from the Township ofOro-
Medonte for 2003 has been $12,050. These funds were part of the Municipal share of the
operational support budget of the Severn Sound Environmental Association Office. This
funding made it possible to generate project proposals and funding applications for the activities
that you see in the Update. During 2003, the SSEA operating budget of$195,000 supported the
Office which generated over $1 million in projects in the Severn Sound .area.
The Severn Sound community will continue to need the services of the SSEA
· to forge cooperative initiatives that will address environmental issues,
· to coordinate monitoring of environmental status,
· to advise on solutions to new environmental problems and
· to provide a "neutral informed voice" on environmental issues leading to a healthy
Severn Sound ecosystem.
There are several ongoing and new SSEA projects that will benefit the Township in 2004 and
beyond.
Rural Water Quality Improvement Program
- Tributary Rehabilitation Project will be carried out in Severn Sound over the next four
years with a proposed 2004 value of$173,930.
Habitat Evaluation, Restoration and Enhancement
- Hogg Creek and Sturgeon River habitat evaluation will continue during 2004 the total
value of the project is $82,000 over the two years.
- The Natural Shorelines in Severn Sound Project will continue with follow up of
projects in Bass Lake.
Sustainability and Pollution Prevention
- Take a Little Lead Out - The project to will continue to educate people about the
dangers of lead in our waterways and to encourage use of non-toxic sinkers and jigs.
- Sustainability Plan for Severn Sound - The project will continue during 2004 in
cooperation with Environment Canada with a value of$17,000.
- The Toxics Management Strategy for Severn Sound will continue during 2004 with
inventories of toxic chemicals as part of the Binational Toxics Strategy through
Environment Canada. The value ofthe project for the year will be $20,000.
Monitoring
SSEA will continue to monitor the Severn Sound area open water and tributaries in order to
track the effectiveness of restoration and sustainability projects and to measure ecosystem
health. In Oro-Medonte these include:
- One PWQMN station on Coldwater River. Three temperature logging stations.
- One PGMN site (to be established) in the Moonstone area. The value of this
installation is estimated at $16,000.
- Our office will continue to respond to water quality complaints on Bass Lake from
landowners.
- Swimming areas in Bass Lake (the public beach and the public launch ramp area) will
continue to be monitored according to the Ontario Beach Management Protocol in
partnership with the Simcoe County District Health Unit and the Ontario Health Lab.
The value of this project for the 15 sites monitored throughout Severn Sound is $25,800.
Therefore, on the advice of the SSEA it is hereby recommended as follows:
That the Township of Oro-Medonte continue as a signator to the Severn Sound
Environmental Association for a five (5) year period commencing April 1, 2004 and that
Council authorize the Mayor and the Clerk to sign a new agreement on behalf of the
Township;
And furthermore, that the Township share of the 2004 budget of $13,293 be approved.
An official signing of the new SSEA Agreement is scheduled for 2:00 pm on April 2nd, 2004 in
the Council Chambers ofthe Town of Midland and later that day, a reception in which all of
Council is invited. An invitation with details will follow.
I look forward to attending the February 25th Committee of the Whole Meeting to make a brief
presentation and answer any questions Council may have.
Yours truly,
~4!~

Severn Sound Environmental Association (SSEA) 2003 Update for Township of
Oro-Medonte
Members of the Severn Sound Environmental Association support operating costs of the
Severn Sound Environmental Implementation Office. The Implementation office
continues to:
· oversee all aspects of implementing the SSEA projects and programs
· act as liaison between local stakeholders and government agencies, and
· involve the Severn Sound community in remediation, monitoring and
conservation
· provide cost-effective, community-based environmental management of the
Severn Sound watershed
On January 22,2003, the Canadian Minister of the Environment and Minister of Foreign
Affairs transmitted a letter to the International Joint Commission, fonnally announcing
that Canada has removed Severn Sound from the list of Areas of Concern.
The SSEA has since been recognized internationally as a unique model of cooperation
amongst partners for delivery of exceptional environmental programs. The Association is
currently involved in a number of activities in the Severn Sound area that directly benefit
Oro-Medonte Township:
North Simcoe Municipal Groundwater Study - The SSEA acts as the lead
organization for the North Simcoe Municipal Groundwater Study. The province (MaE)
funded 85% of the study while the municipalities contributed 15% through a cost-share
arrangement. The Township ofOro-Medonte's portion was $6,393.75 of a total project
cost of $602,000. This study, once complete, will provide the technical basis for Well
Head Protection Areas for municipal water supplies, groundwater source protection and
watershed planning, assist in management of groundwater resources and provide a
consistent database of groundwater infonnation.
The Rural Water Quality Improvement Programs through Ontario's Healthy Futures
program provided landowners in Oro-Medonte with funding and technical assistance for:
Clean Water Diversion, Nutrient Management Plans, Stream Buffers, Livestock Access
Restrictions, Milkhouse Wastewater Management, and Fuel/Chemical/Fertilizer Storage
and Handling. 8 projects were completed in Oro-Medonte Township in 2003 - the total
cost of the projects was $34,557 with the landowner contributing 50% and Healthy
Futures providing 50% funding. In addition to the Healthy Futures Project, SSEA is also
working with a number of partners including MNR to rehabilitate stream habitat in the
Severn Sound area. Five projects were completed during 2003 within Oro-Medonte.
This program continues over the next three years.
A workshop on drainage issues was organized by SSEA, Private Land Stewardship
Network, and the Township ofSpringwater for Drainage Superintendents in the North
Simcoe area, bringing together various technical experts, regulatory agencies and
superintendents.
Special Note: It will soon be announced that the Severn Sound Environmental
Association is one of the recipients of the 2004 National Recreational Fisheries Awards.
This award will be presented on Parliament Hill on March 29th, 2004. We were
nominated for our work in tributary rehabilitation, which was part of our rural water
quality programs for a number of years.
The Natural Shorelines in Severn Sound Project encourages shoreline landowners to
naturalize their shorelines along the coastal areas of Severn Sound in order to restore
onshore habitat and encourage the restoration of native vegetation. In 2003, the SSEA
invited residents to a Natural Shoreline workshop, a Backyard Habitat workshop and
provided technical advice and plants to 5 landowners in Oro-Medonte on Bass Lake.
Approximately $500 worth of vegetation for shoreline naturalization was provided to
Bass Lake residents as part of the project.
The Wetlands Project provides technical assistance to landowners for restoring,
protecting and improving wetland habitat. In addition we work with member
municipalities and MNR to evaluate wetlands in the watershed.
There are a number on ongoing and new projects in Severn Sound. We provide local
coordination for the National Great Lakes Marsh Monitoring Plan. In 2003 we began a
project through the Canada-Ontario Agreement (MNR) to identifY historical wetlands and
to develop a rehabilitation strategy for coastal areas of North Simcoe.
Habitat Evaluation
SSEA is working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) to identify coastal wetlands
requiring evaluation. We are also working with DFO on fish habitat in streams and drains
throughout the watershed of Severn Sound. In particular, we are working on habitat
evaluation ofHogg Creek and Sturgeon River.
Take a Little Lead Out - The "Take a Little Lead Out!" project aims to educate people
on the dangers of lead in our waterways, and to provide anglers with the opportunity to
voluntarily exchange their lead sinkers and jigs for new non-toxic alternatives, absolutely
free! Exchanges are held at various public events in the Severn Sound area and at the
office year round. Over 545 pounds of lead has been collected in the Severn Sound
Watershed since 1997. The lead has been recycled to a variety of sustainable end-uses,
including being taken to Tonolli Canada Ltd., a lead recycling and smelting facility in
Mississauga. Note: On February 17,2004 the Honourable David Anderson, Minister of
2
the Environment, announced that he will soon propose regulations that will bring about
an eventual prohibition on the import, manufacture and sale of fishing sinkers and jigs
containing lead.
Monitoring - The following projects are part of the environmental monitoring
component of the Severn Sound Environmental Association which tracks the
effectiveness of restoration projects and measures ecosystem health:
· Benthic invertebrate sampling/habitat assessment was conducted on Hogg Creek,
Sturgeon River and Coldwater River sites.
· River flow and quality monitoring was conducted on the Hogg Creek and the
North River by the SSEA through Environment Canada. Sites on the Wye and
Coldwater Rivers continue to be monitored as FederallProvincial cost-share sites.
These long-term flow gauging stations are not located in Oro-Medonte but are
invaluable for water resources studies in the Township.
· Monitoring of one site in Oro-Medonte Township that is part of the Provincial
Water Quality Monitoring Network stations in Severn Sound.
· Monitoring of 4 temperature loggers within Oro-Medonte Township as part of the
network of stations in Severn Sound.
· Open Water monitoring of water quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthos
and fish community was conducted at thirteen locations in Severn Sound.
· Electro shocking and biomass fish surveys in 2 sites in Oro-Medonte Township as
part of the long-term fish biomass monitoring of tributary fish community in
Severn Sound tributaries.
· The Office responded to 1 water quality concerns rrom Oro-Medonte residents in
2003.
· Swimming areas were monitored for indicator bacteria at fifteen locations in
Severn Sound including two in Oro-Medonte Township on Bass Lake.
Severn Sound Dam and Fish Barrier Survey - The Severn Sound Environmental
Association, in cooperation with Environment Canada and the Ontario Ministry of
Natural Resources (Upper Great Lakes Management Unit) is collecting information about
water control structures and other barriers to fish passage in the Severn Sound area. There
are 30 interpreted or known fish barrier locations in Oro-Medonte Township and to date
we have collected information and photo-documented 15 of them.
Public Education and Public Involvement
· Shorewatch Program with Huronia Communities Foundation
· Public Advisory Committee (PAC) supported registration of ice hut regulations
for Severn Sound with letters to appropriate government agencies
· montWy PAC meetings with expert guest speakers
· w,vw.severnsound.ca provides news and infonnation on local and global
environmental issues - over 44,000 visits (rrom over 50 countries) in 2003
· SSEA staff participated in over 50 events in 2003 in the form of displays and/or
presentations

Severn Sound Sustainability Plan and Toxics Inventory
Following a series of meetings with Environment Canada, the SSEA resolved to create a
model Sustainability Plan for Severn Sound. Through this plan we hope to maintain the
goals and successes already achieved through the RAP process and improve the
environmental standards and health of our area. This will also enable us to oversee the
long-tenn commitments made by government agencies in the Stage 3 Report. Issues such
as sustainable development, green power, alternative waste diversion, water conservation,
and energy conservation will be examined through pilot projects, workshops and
educational materials.
The Severn Sound Environmental Association will also be conducting a number of
initiatives in the community as part of the Great Lakes Binational Toxics Strategy. The
Binational Toxics Strategy is a cooperative effort of Environment Canada, the US
Environmental Protection Agency and other organizations who are working toward the
goal of virtual elimination of persistent toxic substances resulting from human activity,
particularly those which bioaccumulate, from the Great Lakes Basin, to protect and
ensure the health of the Great Lakes ecosystem and its communities. Mercury is one of
these identified substances and we are in the process of conducting an inventory, within
the watershed, of mercury and other toxic substances.
Additional Programs and Projects:
The SSEA has the expertise in watershed management. There are 45 publications
produced by/or with the assistance of SSRAP and SSEA from 1989 to 2002. Throughout
the year a number of federal, provincial, international and local agencies and
organizations approach the SSEA for assistance, information and projects.
Summary
The SSEA oversees environmental projects, coordinates partnerships, arranges and
sources funding opportunities and provides educational and infonnation services to the
municipalities and residents. We provide excellent, cost-effective environmental services
to the municipalities in the Severn Sound area. In 2003, the operation of the SSEA in the
Severn Sound area generated a value of over $1,000,000 in projects. In other words - for
every dollar spent on the SSEA, over five dollars was generated in projects. We expect to
do similar work over the next 5 years.

Honourable Leona Dombrowsky
Minister of the Environment
135 St. Clair Avenue W., 12 Floor
TORONTO, Ontario
M4V IPS
Dear Minister Dombrowsky:
The Council of The Township of Essa wishes to express its concern over the requirement of
municipalities to adhere and comply with the Ontario Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002 in all
buildings owned by municipalities. While there is no question that the quality of drinking water,
and the health of the general public, is of utmost importance, not all municipally owned
buildings should be subject to the same regulations.
Throughout Ontario you will find several examples of historic halls and buildings that are the
heart and foundation of communities. These buildings serve many purposes, from family picnics
to Boy Scout meetings to emergency shelters, and yet because of their age and location, often in
rural areas, their wells or water systems do not meet the new standards for municipally owned
buildings set by your Ministry. Many of these halls are operated and maintained by volunteer
community groups, but local support does not generate enough revenue to cover the cost of the
new requirements under this legislation.
.
The excessive cost that municipalities must endure to meet these standards in each and every
building is objectionable, and in many cases will lead to the closure and loss of the heart of a
community. Your Ministry's requirements for constant testing, engineering studies, drilling new
wells, and the installation of water treatment methods can easily run into several thousands of
dollars, and smaller, rural municipalities in particular simply cannot afford to keep community
halls open under these circumstances. Such infrequency of use cannot justify or pay for the
expense of installing new water systems, and the resultant loss of revenue to municipalities, not
to mention the loss of a community, is unacceptable. In situations where a building is only used
twice a month, it would be sufficient to purchase bottled water in coolers, with appropriate
permanent signage posted, to provide safe drinking water for users.

Dear Mr. Craig and Council:
It has been brought to my attention that a land transaction for
Sweetwater Park, Sugar Bush may take place between Oro-Medonte and
the Indian Park Association.
For your information, the level of hostility between residents and
the Indian Park Association has not changed. The IPA persist with
court action against residents which is current and ongoing.
The IPA are very short of funds, in large part, I suspect, due to
legal costs and never ending law suits. I certainly would not
appreciate tax dollars paid to Oro-Medonte financing the IPA and
their legal actions.
For your information, the legal battles are managed by the law firm
of Russel, Christie, Miller, Koughan and Winnitoy.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Yours truly,
(~;rL

Possible physician for Oro-Medonte
..
Dear Sir:
I ',ave had a physician approach me aboul moving up to tl,is area and opening a small
medical practice inmv buildinJ:. At present he is working full time in Toronto, and will be
moving up here to live. To his credit, he does not want to leave his patients without a
physician, so wants to phase up here slowly, to allow them to find another doctor in tbe
city. This means he will entail the costs of two locations for a couple of years.
I have been able to get a $5,000.00 moving allowance commitment from the Physician'
Recruitment for Barrie and Area fund which is supported by ($200,000.00: 113 RVH, 1/3
Barrie, 113 surrounding townships (which have not paid or partially paid in the past)). The
recruitment programme is within it's budget, but has overspent, because of the lack of
funds. This is a separate issue, which I know you are familiar with. They will be
approaching you again this year for their support.
I am asking for Oro-Medonte's support to finance his rent for the first year, 11,. for tbe
second year and 1/4 for tbe third year to allow his transition. I believe there is very little
opportunity to get a physician and the situation will be a lot worse as the "baby boomer
physicians"retire. Physicians are not around to replace them and the population needing
medical services (the elderly baby boomers) is going to increase. This is a wonderful and
unique opportunity to have this service. If he comes, then he may be able to attract other
physicians. (That is the trend).
Can I meet with you and talk about how to approach council to authorize and support this
endeavour for the good of the community. I have already met with the HSVPO association
and they have already forwarded their letter of support.
...
Thanking you in advance,

Dear Ms. Zieleniewski:
Re: Capital Contributions to the Coldwater & District Community Centre
The Township of Severn would like to formally request Council
consideration of funding for the 2004 capital costs associated with the
upkeep and repair of the Coldwater & District Community Centre.
According to the contribution formula, your contribution is 10% of the
total permanent electors of your Township multiplied by two dollars and
fifty cents ($2.50) per capita, which would be:
17,668 x 10% = 1,767 x $2.50 = $4,417.50
Please include $4,417.50 in your 2004 budget for capital requirements at
the Coldwater and District Community Centre.
A list of our 2004 Capital Requirements for the facility is attached,
Our Terms of Reference have been incorporated into a By-law
No. 2004-08. This By-law establishes our Recreation and Facilities
Advisory Committee. Section 9 of the By-law indicates that "A Sub-
Committee shall be formed to include the participating municipalities when
all matters concerning capital improvements to the Coldwater & District
Community Centre are to be considered.
Municipal Offic~: 1024 Hurlwood Lane
Telephone: (705) 325-2315 Fax: (705) 327-5818

Would you please have your Council appoint a member to sit on our
Sub-Committee to consider the capital requirements attached. We will
advise you in due course of the date of a meeting.
Should you require any further information on this matter please contact
me.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Yours truly

Dept. Report No. To: Prepared By:
ADM2004-13 Committee of the Whole Jennifer Zieleniewski
Subject: Department:
Council Comprehensive Review of Administration
School Zone Issues
C. of W. Date:
February 25, 2004
Motion # R.M. File#:
P15-13423
Date: Roll #:
Council, at its meeting of January 14, 2004, considered Report PW2004-01 regarding Proposed
School Safety Zone - East Oro School. Council did not support this report and directed staff to
complete a comprehensive review of all schools within the Township.
SIS:
As suggested by Councillor Marshall, staff contacted the Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) for
information. CAA advised that they were not the appropriate organization and recommended that
staff contact the Region of Durham. Staff reviewed a comprehensive Discussion Paper prepared by
Intus Road Safety Engineeringlnc, prepared October 2001 on behalf of the City of Hamilton and a
report entitled "Community Safety Zones Evaluation of Effectiveness Study" prepared by the Region
of Durham in May 2001. Staff also contacted the Ministry of Transportation and the County of
Simcoe to obtain traffic counts and each school within the Township of Oro-Medonte to obtain the
number of students who walk to school, the number who are bused and the number that go home for
lunch. The schools confirmed that the Simcoe District School Board's policy for walking is 1.6 km
from the school. Attached for information is a spreadsheet containing the information for each
school, (Attachment #1), maps for each school showing the 1.6 km walking distance (Attachment #2)
and a photograph of Community Safety Zone Regulatory signage (Attachment #3).
A School Zone is defined as the area between the Ministry regulated School Zone signs. Presently,
all schools within the Township have School Zone signs erected.
~~-d--' . .'
The Discussion Paper prepared by Intus Road Safety Engineering defines a Community Safety Zone
(CSZ) as "a section of roadway, or an intersection, designated by a road authority (by municipal by-
law) where public safety is of special concern and where certain fines have been increased for
violations committed within the CSZ."
On November 25, 2003, the County of Simcoe enacted By-law 4989 which designates a Community
SafetyZone on Country Road 20 (Ridge Road) from a point 900 metres west of Line 2 South to a
point 1 km easterly in the hamlet of Shanty Bay. The County was unable to erect the signs prior to
the arrival of the snow. The Community Safety Zone will take effect once the signs are erected in the
spring.
In order to provide a consistent approach, staff recommend that the Township establish a 50 km/hr
speed limit within all school zones located on Township roads, with the exception of Notre Dame
Separate School which should be lowered to 40 km/hr to match the City of Orillia's speed limits within
school zones and that the Township petition the County of Simcoe to lower the speed limit to 50
km/hr within the school zones for Moonstone and W.R. Best Public Schools.
Staff further recommend that Community Safety Zones be established on all Township roads within
the designated school zones and that the Township petition the County of Simcoe to establish
Community Safety Zones on the County roads within the school zones for Moonstone and W.R. Best
Public Schools, (to be consistent).
Further investigation concluded that the vehicles parking on the road allowances were visitprs to the
various schools. In an effort to facilitate the schools' needs for additional parking for special events,
staff recommends that the Township erect signs on Township roads, within the school zones,
permitting parking from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. only and that the Township petition the County of
Simcoe to allow for the erection of the parking permitted signs on County roads within the school
zones, (to be consistent).
RECOMMENDATION S :
1. THAT Report No. ADM2004-13 be received and adopted.
2. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte establish a 50 km/hr speed limit, on Township roads, within
all school zones with the exception of Notre Dame Separate School which should be lowered to
40 km/hr.
3. THAT the Township of Oro-Medonte establish Community Safety Zones on all Township roads
within the designated school zones and erect appropriate signage.
4. THAT the Township petition the County of Simcoe to reduce the speed limit to 50 km/hr and to
establish Community Safety Zones on all County roads within the school zone for Moonstone
Public School and W.R. Best Public School.
~THAT the Township erect signs on Township roads, within the school zones, permitting parking
J from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and petition the County of Simcoe to allow for the erection of the
parking permitted signs on County roads within the school zones. ~ ~~o-v--t .
6. THAT the Clerk bring forward the appropriate by-laws for Council's co sideration.

Background
This application was heard on February 13th, 2003 and was deferred at the request of the applicant.
The applicant would like this application to now be heard to include an additional 3.048 metres to the
east of that initially applied for with the area of the Water Lot being amended to 2,248 square metres
(24,198 square feet) plus an additional 104 square metres (1,119 square feet), all shown as Part 4 on
the Plan of Survey dated January 20, 2004.
OFFICIAL PLAN
The subject property is designated Shoreline in the Township's Official Plan. The intent of the
Shoreline Designation is to protect the character and natural features of the shoreline area and the
immediate shoreline. This application would merge the water lot with an existing lot of record on the
plan of subdivision and as such would generally comply with the policies of the Official Plan.
Zoning By-Law 97-95
The subject property is zoned Residential Limited Service with a Holding provision [RLS (H)] in Zoning
By-law 97-95. The intent of the zone is to establish appropriate zone provisions related to frontage,
area and setbacks. As this application is to add a waterlot to the existing plan of subdivision lot, the
application is deemed to generally comply with the Zoning By-law. .
ANALYSIS
Although there is an absence of specific policies dealing with the proposed consent, it is suggested
that the application conforms with the spirit of the Official Plan for the following reasons: .
...
. The proposal does not offend the objectives for the Shoreline designation; and,
. The proposed consent will not result in the creation of a new building lot.
CONCLUSIONS
1. The severed and retained lots would comply with the minimum lot area and frontage
requirements when rezoned.
2. The proposed consent will not result in the creation of a building lot and does not offend the
intent of the Official Plan as .it relates to the Shoreline designation.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application B-4/03(Rev) subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan in addition with two digital copies of the same of the
new lot be prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor be submitted to the Secretary-Treasurer;
2. That the severed lands be merged in title with the applicanfs residential lot and that the
provisions of Subsection 3 or 5 of Section 50 of The Planning Act apply to any subsequent
conveyance or transaction involving the subject lands;
3. That the applicants solicitor provide an undertaking that the severed lands and the lands to be
enhanced will merge in title;
4. That the applicant prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the parcel
severed, for review by the Municipality;
5. That all municipal taxes be paid to the Township of Oro-Medonte; and,
6. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the
date of the giving of the notice.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Committee of Adjustment
Planning Report for
February 12, 2004
-'
George Anderson
B-45/03
1933 Old Barrie Road East, East Part of Lot 11, Concession 12 (Oro)
THE PROPOSAL
The purpose of application B-45/03 is to permit a boundary adjustment. The land to be conveyed
to the abutting lot would have a lot width of approximately 30.48 metres (100 feet), a lot depth of
approximately 58.8 metres (192.9 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.18 hectares (0.44
acres). The land proposed to be retained (the balance of the rural parcel) would have a lot area
of approximately 40.47 hectares (100 acres). No new building lots will be created as a result of
this boundary adjustment.
MUNICIPAL POLICY, ZONING AND PREVIOUS APPROVALS
Official Plan Designation -Rural Settlement Area and Agricultural
Zoning By-law 97-95 - Residential One (R1) and Agricultural/Rural (AIRU) Zones
Previous Applications -
AGENCY COMMENTS (space is provided for the Committee to make notes)
Simcoe County
Public Works- No concerns, County Road.
Building Department - The Township Building Department has reviewed the application and the
proposal appears to meet the minimum standards. This is not approval
for any particular development.
Fire Department
PLANNING DEPARTMENT
Background
This application involves the conveyance of lands from Anderson to Scott. The lands from which
the lot addition is being proposed are approximately 37.2 hectares (92 acres) in lot area. The
existing lot owned by Scott is 0.1 acres (410 m2) in area and the proposed lot addition would add
0.44 acres (1792 m2) to the existing Scott property for a total lot area of 0.54 acres (2202 m2).
There would be no additional lot frontage added to the Scott property from the Anderson property.
This application was first heard on January 15, 2004 and was deferred at the request of the
applicant to allow the applicant to address the concerns from the County regarding the removal of
the existing residential entrance from County Road 11 (Old Barrie Road).
.f~) -
. ,
Township Of Oro-Medonte Official Plan.
The subject lands are designated Agricultural in the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan.'
Section 02.3.4 policies of the Oro-Medonte Official Plan sets out the policy with respect to
boundary adjustments in the Agricultural designation:
Boundary line adjustments or farm consolidations may be considered where the effect of the.
boundary adjustment or consolidation is to improve the viability of the farm operation provided:
a) No new lot is created; and
b) The viability of using the lands affected by the application for agricultural uses is not
adversely impacted if the application is approved.
Zoning By-Law 97-95
If the consent were approved, the Anderson lot would continue to comply with the Zoning By-law
provisions applicable to agricultural uses in the Agricultural/Rural (A/RU) Zone. The Scott
property would continue to maintain a legal non-complying lot frontage of 14 metres (46 feet)
instead of the required 30 metres (98.2 feet) but would increase the lot area to 0.21 hectares
(0.54 acres) which would comply with the minimum lot area requirement of 0.2 hectares (0.49
acres) in the Residential One (Ri) Zone. . .
There would be no situations of non-compliance created by the proposed boundary adjustment.
ANALYSIS
The proposed boundary will facilitate the creation of a larger residential lot within the
Rural Settlement Area which will now meet the minimum lot area requirements. The application
does not offend the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan relating to severance policies in
agricultural areas as no new lot is being created and the viability of the existing agricultural use
on the subject property is not being affected.
The applicant should clarify for the Committee the intended usage of the property and the reason
for the lot addition. It has been assumed by the Planning Department that the intended usage
would be residential and that the proposed lot addition would make such a use possible.
CONCLUSION
1 . The proposed consent will not result in the creation of a new lot and does not offend the
intent of the Township of Oro-Medonte Official Plan.
2. The retained lot continues to comply with the minimum lot area and lot frontage
requirements of the Zoning By-law. The proposed boundary adjustment will increase the
lot area of the severed lot to bring it into conformity with the lot area requirements of the
Zoning By-law.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Committee approve consent application B45/03 to permit the
boundary adjustment, subject to the following conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan and two digital copies of the same of the subject
lands prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary;
frL
2. That the severed lands be merged in title with the applicant's rural residential lot and that
the provisions of Subsection 3 or 5 of Section 50 of The Planning Act apply to any
subsequent conveyance or transaction involving the subject lands;
3. That the applicants solicitor provide an undertaking that the severed lands and the lands
to be enhanced will merge in title;
4. That the applicant prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the parcel
severed, for review by the Municipality;
5. 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,

Background
This application involves the proposed conveyance of lands from the applicant to the neighbouring property
and is associated with two other applications (2004-B-02 and 2004-8-03), which include additional lot
additions between the neighbouring properties. There. are currently four parcels of land in separate
conveyable ownership; if all three applications are approved there will be a total of three separately
conveyable parcels. This specific application would convey approximately 23 acres from the Stoer property
to be merged with the Dunn property to the west and would no longer require access through the southern
right of way to the municipal road.
Township Of Oro-Medonte Official Plan
The subject lands are designated Rural and Environment Protection Two Overlay in the Oro-Medonte
Official Plan.
The Environmental Protection Two Overlay designation relates to the significant woodlands identified on the
property. This. is an overlay designation which permits the uses of the underlying designation (Rural in this
case) but requires additional environmental studies should the landowner wish to develop the property.
Section D3.1 establishes the objectives for the Rural designation:
-'
.
To preserve and promote the rural character of the Township and the maintenance of the open
countryside, and; .
.
To prevent the intrusion of land uses which are incompatible with the rural character and/or
resource activities of the area.
The Rural designation is currently silent with respect to lot additions. OP A #17 which was a general
Amendment to the Official Plan was adopted by Council in August 2003 but has not yet been approved by
the County of Simcoe and proposes the following new section for the Committee's reference:
"Boundarv Adiustments
A consent may be permitted for the purpose of modifying lot boundaries, provided no new building lot is
created. In reviewing an application for such a boundary adjustment, the Committee of Adjustment shall be
satisfied that the boundary adjustment will not affect the viability of the use of the properties affected as
intended by this Plan. In addition, the Committee of Adjustment shall be satisfied that the boundary
adjustment will not affect the viability of the agricultural parcels affected."
While it is recognized that OPA#17 is not in effect, it does function as a statement of Council policy.
Zoning By-Law 97-95
If the consent were approved, both the rural parcels would continue to comply with the Zoning By-law
provisions applicable to uses in the AlRU Zone.
There would be no situations of non-compliance created by the proposed lot addition.
ANALYSIS
The proposed consent application is for a lot addition that does not appear to offend the principles of the
Official. Plan. The proposed consent would in effect improve the access for the existing parcel from a right of
way to fronting onto a municipal road.
CONCLUSION
1. The application does not offend the objectives or policies of the Rural or Environmental Protection
Two Overlay designations of the Official Plan and is deemed to generally conform with the
severance policies of the Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application 2004-B-01 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan in addition with 2 digital copies of the same of the subject
lands prepared by an Ontario Land Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary;
2. That the severed lands be merged in title with the applicant's rural residential lot and that the
provisions of Subsection 3 or 5 of Section 50 of The Planning Act apply to any subsequent
conveyance or transaction involving the subject lands;
3. That the applicants solicitor provide an undertaking that the severed lands and the lands to be
enhanced will merge in title;
4. That the applicant prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the parcel severed,
for review by the Municipality;
5. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the date
of the giving of the notice.

THE PROPOSAL
The purpose of application 2004-B-03 is to permit a lot additionlboundary adjustment to an
adjacent parcel of land, from Dunn to Stoer. The land to be severed and added to the adjacent
parcel of land directly to the north (Stoer) is proposed to have a width of 145.66 metres (477.89
feet), a lot depth of 244.7 metres (802.8 feet), and a lot area of approximately 2.05 hectares
(5.074 acres). The land proposed to be retained (Dunn) would have a lot frontage of 128.66
metres (422.11 feet), a lot depth of 338.58 metres (1110.85 feet) and a lot area of approximately
6.72 hectares (16.6 acres). No new building lots are proposed to be created as a result of the lot
addition.

Background
This application involves the proposed conveyance of lands from the applicant to the neighbouring property
and is associated with two other applications (2004-B-01 and 2004-B-02), which include additional lot
additions between the neighbouring properties. There are currently four parcels of land in separate
conveyable ownership; if all three applications are approved there will be a total of three separately
conveyable parcels. This specific application would convey approximately 5 acres to from the Dunn
property to be merged with the Stoer property to the north.
Township Of Oro-Medonte Official Plan
The subject lands are designated Rural and Environment Protection Two Overlay in the Oro.Medonte
Official Plan.
The Environmental Protection Two Overlay designation relates to the significant woodlands identified on the
property. This is an overlay designation which permits the uses of the underlying designation (Rural in this
case) but requires additional environmental studies should the landowner wish to develop the property.
Section D3.1 establishes the objectives forthe Rural designation:
9~ - d 'J
.
To preserve and promote the rural character of the Township and the maintenance ofthe open
countryside, and; .
.
To prevent the intrusion of land uses which are incompatible with the rural character and/or
resource activities of the area.
The Rural designation is currently silent with respect to lot additions. OPA #17 which was a general
Amendment to the Official Plan was adopted by Council in August 2003 but has not yet been approved by
the County of Simcoe and proposes the following new section for the Committee's reference:
"Boundary Adiustments
A consent may be permitted for the purpose of modifying lot boundaries, provided no new building lot is
created. In reviewing an application for such a boundary adjustment, the Committee of Adjustment shall be
satisfied that the boundary adjustment will not affect the viability of the use of the properties affected as
intended by this Plan. In addition, the Committee of Adjustment shall be satisfied that the boundary
adjustment will not affect the viability of the agricultural parcels affected."
While it is recognized that OPA#17 is not in effect, it does function as a statement of Council policy.
Zoning By-Law 97-95
If the consent were approved, both the rural parcels would continue to comply with the Zoning. By-law
provisions applicable to uses in the AlRU Zone.
There would be no situations of non-compliance created by the proposed lot addition.
ANALYSIS
The proposed consent application is for a lot addition that does not appear to offend the principles of the
Official Plan. The proposed consent would in effect improve the access for the existing parcel from a right of
way to fronting onto a municipal road.
CONCLUSION
1. The application does not offend the objectives or policies of the Rural or Environmental Protection
Two Overlay designations of the Official Plan and is deemed to generally conform with the
severance policies of the Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee approve consent application 2004-B-03 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That three copies of a Reference Plan in addition with 2 digital copies of the same of the subject
lands prepared by an Ontario land Surveyor be submitted to the Committee Secretary;
2. That the severed lands be merged in title with the applicant's rural residential lot and that the
provisions of Subsection 3 or 5 of Section 50 of The Planning Act apply to any subsequent
conveyance or transaction involving the subject lands;
3. That the applicants solicitor provide an undertaking that the severed lands and the lands to be
enhanced will merge in title;
4. That the applicant prepare and submit a copy of the proposed conveyance for the parcel severed,
for review by the Municipality;
5. That the conditions of consent imposed by the Committee be fulfilled within one year from the date
of the giving of the notice.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

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 encroached 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 was also required for the dwelling to be located closer than the minimum allowable
provision stated in the Zoning By-law. The applicants were granted relief in August2003 from
this provisions to permit the construction of the dwelling. The applicant is now requesting a
further reduction of an additional one metre (3.2 feet) to permit the construction of a deck at the
rear of the dwelling which would be approximately 16 feet deep.
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. 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 and deck is generally in
keeping with the character of the Rural Residential designation. The Official Plan contains
policies in Section G1.4 in regards to Hazardous Slopes and requires development shall be
sufficiently setback from the top of bank of slopes greater than 33 % or 3 to 1. The development
setback distance shall be determined in accordance with the Conservation Authority and should
consider the soil type and groundwater patterns, vegetation type and cover, severity of slope, and
nature of development. No consultation has occurred with the Conservation Authority to reduce
the setback to the slope. On this basis, the requested variance is not deemedto conform with the
Official Plan.
Does the variance conform with the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The general intent of the zoning by-law is to protect unstable or hazardous sloped from
development. . On this basis, in order to implement the policies contained in the Official Plan a 23
metre setback was established from the top of bank of slopes greater than 33% or 3 to 1. While it .
is recognized that within the Horseshoe Valley Road area many of the dwellings are constructed
either on or near steep slopes and it was on this basis that permission was granted for the
dwelling to be constructed on this site; the intent of the setback from steep slopes is to maintain
the integrity of the slope and prevent possible instability of the bank. The construction of the deck
further into the slope may have an impact in this regard. On this basis the variance from the
slope is not 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 deck addition to the dwelling will result in the over-development of the subject lot
as it relates to the steep slope. It is evident from the site inspection that the previous permission
granted by the Committee allows ample area for a deck to be constructed; however does not
provide for the large 16 foot deck proposed. The permission previously granted by the Committee
was staked on the site and to expand this an additional metre would appear to have an additional
impact on the slope. On this basis the proposal is not considered appropriate for the desirable
development of the subject lot.
Is the variance minor?
The proposed variance cannot be considered minor, as this would allow a 16 foot deck to further
encroach on the steep slope at the rear of the property.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed variance is not deemed to meet the four tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Committee not grant the revision to Minor Variance A-28/03 and that the
proposed deck conform with the previous setback to the slope of 7 metres (23 feet) granted by
the Committee in August.,2003.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

The applicants are requesting relief of the following provisions from Zoning By-law 97-95:
i) Section 5.6 c) width of a boathouse exceeding 30% of the lot to a proposed 33.4%;
and,
ii) Section 5.6 g) the maximum height of a boathouse of 4.5 metres (14.76 feet) to 8.9
metres (29 feet).

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a road frontage of 18.2 metres (60 feet), a water frontage of 18.2 metres
(60 feet), and a lot area of 0.27 acres (1114.8 sq.m.). The lands currently support a one storey
frame cottage with a gross floor area of 46.5 sq.m. (500 sq.ft.).
The owner is proposing to submit a building permit application for a boathouse with a gross floor
area of 65 m (704 ft2). The boathouse will have a maximum height, calculated from the high
water mark, of 8.9 metres (29 feet).
The minor variance was deferred January 15, 2004 to address the concerns relating to the
maximum width of the boathouse and side yard setback of the boathouse. The applicants have
revised the application, eliminating the side yard setback variance, reducing the interior width of
the boathouse to 20 feet, thus reducing the maximum width of a boathouse to 33.4% of the lot.
1
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. The primary function of the Shoreline
designation is to protect the character of the shoreline residential area. Permitted uses in the
Shoreline designation primarily include residential uses as well as accessory uses. Section 010.7
of the Official Plan directs that the Zoning By-law shall include provisions that restrict the size and
location of boathouses on a lot. The Official Plan does not contain policies with respect to the
design issues or concerns around boathouse heights. The revised plans for the proposed
boathouse would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline residential area and would
therefore conform with the intent of the policies contained in the Official Plan.
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of regulating the location and height of boathouses in the Shoreline
Residential (SR) Zone is to prevent over-development of the shoreline frontage which may lead to
the frontage being dominated by boathouse structures and ultimately impacting the character of
the shoreline. Section 5.6 of By-law 97-95 establishes setback, height, percentage of frontage,
and use regulations for boathouses. The By-law specifically excludes boathouses from the total
lot coverage provisions for accessory structures and does not establish a maximum floor area or
ground floor area for boathouses.
The revised plans for the proposed boathouse will exceed the maximum width of a boathouse on
a lot by just under 4% and will exceed the maximum height standard by 4.4 metres. Boathouse
height is calculated not from the average finished grade (as it is with all other structures in the
Township) but from the average high water mark. The intent of this provision is to ensure that the
boathouse remains secondary to the dwelling on the site, does not dominate the shoreline
elevations, and does not negatively impact views from adjacent development. This is particularly
so in areas of the Township characterized by small lots and narrow shoreline frontages.
Based on a site inspection, it is noted that the subject lot would fall within this type of smaller lot
with a narrow frontage (60 feet). Moreover, there is a significant steep slope from the waters
edge to the "plateau" of the lot create a rather unique building location for the boathouse.
The boathouse is proposed to be constructed from the shoreline and into the shoreline bank,
which will result in the structure having a lower height than the existing cottage.
The proposed boathouse, if approved, would be larger in area than the existing dwelling on the
property making it difficult to consider an accessory building as defined by the Zoning By-law.
It is recognized that there is an existing two storey boathouse located on the neighbouring
property to the east; however, this structure was constructed in the early 1960's prior to municipal
regulations being established and should not determine the character of this shoreline residential
area as it is deemed to be a legal non-complying structure.
On this basis the variance is deemed to generally conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-
law.
Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
Given the size of the lots shoreline frontage in relation to the proposed boathouse and in
recognition of the unique location for the boathouse "into the bank" of the shoreline, the proposed
boathouse height on its own will not result in the over-development of the subject lot or the
shoreline. On this basis, the proposal is considered appropriate for the desirable development of
the subject lot.
2
Are the variance.s minor?
As Committee is aware, "minor" is not determined on a mathematical basis. On the basis that the
revised proposal is reasonable and should not adversely affect the character of the surrounding
shoreline area, the proposed variances are considered to be minor.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed variances generally satisfy the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
If Committee is satisfied that the application is appropriate, it is recommended that Committee
approve application A-45/03(Rev), 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 height of the proposed boathouse be no more than 8.9 metres (29 feet);
3.' That the setbacks be in conformity with the dimensions as set out in the application and
approved by Committee; and,
4. 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.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Fire Department
PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a road frontage of 37.122 metres (121.79 feet), and a lot area of
approximately 0.5 hectares (1.27 acres). The lands are currently vacant. The owners are
proposing to submit a building permit application for a single detached dwelling with an apartment
dwelling unit. The dwelling will have a gross floor area of 302 m2 (3250 ft2) with a 53 m (570 ft2)
room above the garage.
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The. property is designated Shoreline in the Official Plan. The primary function of the Shoreline
designation is to maintain the existing character of the shoreline residential area and to protect
the natural features of the shoreline area and the immediate area. Permitted uses in the
Shoreline designation primarily include residential uses as well as accessory uses. The proposed
dwelling based on the proposed size would appear to maintain the character of the shoreline
residential area and would therefore conform with the intent of the policies contained in the
Official Plan.
1
--~--~-,-
c\~ _~~
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of maintaining minimum floor areas is to maintain and protect the residential'
character of a single detached residential community. Given that the proposed variance is for an
apartment dwelling inside a single detached dwelling, and that the main dwelling will meet the
standards of the RUR1 zone, it is suggested that the proposed variance is considered to comply.
with the spirit and intent of the Zoning By-law.
Are the variances appropriate. for the desirable development of the lot?
The proposed variance should provide fora form of development that is suitable for the proposed
dwelling and consistent with the surrounding area. The proposed variance will provide for an
internal expansion in the dwelling and continue to maintain the shoreline residential character.
On this basis the proposed variance should provide for the appropriate development of the lot.
Are the variances minor?
As Committee is aware, "minor" is not determined on a mathematical basis. On the basis that the
proposal is reasonable and should not adversely affect the character of the surrounding
residential area, the proposed variance is considered to be minor.
CONCLUSIONS
The proposed variance generally satisfies the 4 tests of a minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Committee approve minor variance 2004-A-01 subject to the following
conditions:
1. That the size of the proposed apartment dwelling. unit be no larger than 75 square metres
(807.3 square feet);
2. That the applicants obtain approval fora Part 8 Sewage Application from the Township of
Oro-Medonte Building Department; 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.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

Penman Construction Inc.
2004-A-D3
Concession 11, East Part Lot 22 (Oro)
THE PROPOSAL
The purpose of minor variance 2004-A-03 is to construct a single detached dwelling on the vacant
parcel of land. The current zoning on the subject property is Agricultural/Rural Exception 15
(AlRU*15), which permits only uses that existed on the effective date of the By-law. The existing
zoning does not permit a dwelling to be constructed on the subject property, therefore a minor
variance is being requested by the applicants.

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a road frontage along Ridge Road of approximately 106.68 metres (350
feet) and a lot area of approximately 16.2 hectares (40 acres). The lands are currently a vacant
bush lot with a creek forming its eastern boundary. The owners are proposing to build a single
detached dwelling with an area approximately 139.35 m2 (1500 tr).
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
..
Section 03.1 of the Township's Official Plan sets out the following objectives for the Rural
designation.
. To preserve and promote the rural character of the Township and the maintenance of the
open countryside.
. To prevent the intrusion of land uses which are incompatible with the rural character
and/or resource activities of the area.
Committee should also be aware that the subject property is outside the Hawkestone Expansion
Area. Section E1.4 of the Official Plan states that permitted uses in the Hawkestone Expansion

~~~."..-.-
~4'l
Area designation are limited to agricultural uses and uses that existed on the date the Plan was
adopted by Council. It is intended that all or a portion of the Hawkestone Expansion Area lands
will be designated Hawkestone Residential as part of the Secondary Plan process in accordance'
with Section E1.6 of the Official Plan.
The.applicant's .proposal does not appear to offend these principles given that the variance will ..
accommodate development in a manner that is generally consistent with the rural character. On
this basis the proposal is considered to conform with the intent of the Official Plan.
Does the variance conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
The subject property is zoned Agricultural/Rural Exception Fifteen (AlRU*15). Exception Fifteen
permits only uses that existed on the effective date of the By-law, in this case, vacant land. The
existing zoning does not permit a dwelling to be constructed on the subject property, therefore a .
minor variance is being requested by the applicants.
Is the variance appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The nature of development proposed appears modest and will not lead to over development 6f
the lot. The proposed variance should provide for a. form of development that is suitable and
consistent with the surrounding area as the property is located adjacent to the Hawkestone
Settlement Area and would be adjacent to and across from existing homes. However, baSed on
site inspection, it was difficult to determine where the lot was and the proposed location of the
house on the lot.
Is the variance minor?
Until a detailed site plan of
determined.
proposed location of the dwelling. is provided, this cannot be
CONCLUSIONS
Additional information is required from the applicants' consultant to determine the
appropriateness of the minor variance.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that Committee defer minor variance 2004-A-03 until such time the applicants
flag the property lines and the proposed building location and submit a site plan indicating the
proposed location of the dwelling and any detached structures to be built.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

PLANNING FRAMEWORK
Background
The subject property has a road frontage of approximately 99 metres (325 feet), a lot depth of
approximately 68.58 metres (225 feet) and a lot area of approximately 0.68 hectares (1.68 acres).
The lands are currently vacant. The owners are proposing to build a single detached dwelling
with a total area including an attached garage of approximately 158 m2 (1700 ft2).
The subject lot was created on June 14th, 1988 by consent. At that time, there was no condition
of consent to rezone the lot. The former Township of Oro Zoning By-law 1031 states that no
building or structure shall be erected within 23 metres of any embankment of streams or
watercourses. This provision would have left sufficient area for the owner to build a dwelling. Mr.
& Ms. Wallace purchased the lot on May 2003, with the intent of building a dwelling on the
property, situating the house reasonably distant from the watercourse. In 1997, the Township of
Oro-Medonte Zoning By-law 97-95 applied an Environmental Protection Zone on the subject lot,
leaving 12,938 square feet of the lot in an Agricultural/Rural zone. Section 5.28 of the Zoning By-
law states that no building or structure shall be located within 30 metres (98.4 feet) of the
boundaries of the Environmental Protection Zone, thus rendering the lot unbuildable.

Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Official Plan?
The property is designated Agricultural in the Official Plan. Committee shall review Section D2 of the.
Township's Official Plan which sets out the following objectives for the Agricultural designation.
.
To maintain and preserve the agricultural resource base of the Township.
.
To protect land suitable for agricultural production from development and land uses
unrelated to agriculture.
.
To promote the agricultural industry and associated activities and enhance their capacity
to contribute to the economy of the Township.
.
To preserve and promote the agricultural character of the Township and the maintenance
of the open countryside.
The principle use of land in the Agricultural designation shall be agriculture. Other permitted uses
include single detached dwellings and other accessory uses.
The applicant's proposal does not appear to offend these principles given that the variance will
accommodate development in a manner that is generally consistent with the agricultural character.
Committee shall also review Section G1 of the Township's Official Plan, which sets out the following
objectives when considering applications near rivers or streams.
.
To recognize and protect all significant rivers and streams in the Township from
development that may have an impact on their function as an important component of the
natural heritage system.
.
To ensure that development does not occur on lands that are unstable or susceptible to
flooding.
.
To ensure that development does not occur on hazardous slopes.
It is the intent of this Plan to protect all rivers and streams from incompatible development to minimize
the impacts of such development on their functioh. In this regard, no development is permitted below
the top of bank of any river or stream or within 30 metres of the top of bank.
In order to implement the objectives of this Plan, the implementing Zoning By-law shall place all lands
below the top of bank of any river or stream in a specific Environmental Protection Zone. Uses in this
Environmental Protection Zone shall be limited to agricultural uses that existed on the date the By-law
is passed by Council and public or private recreational uses. No buildings or structures, with the
exception of structural works required for flood and/or erosion or sediment control, will be permitted in
this Zone.
On this basis the proposal is considered not to conform with the intent of the Official Plan.
Do the variances conform to the general intent of the Zoning By-law?
One of the purposes of maintaining setbacks from limits of Environmental Protection Zone is to
maintain and enhance the ecological integrity . of the natural heritage system, to ensure that
development does not occur on lands that are unstable or susceptible. to flooding and to ensure that
development does not occur on hazardous slopes.
Section 5.28 of the implementing Zoning By-law specifies that all buildings and structures be set back
a minimum of 30 metres (98.4 feet) from the boundaries of the Environmental Protection Zone. A
reduction in the 30 metre setback shall not require an Amendment to Official Plan but will require either
an Amendment to the implementing Zoning By-law or a minor variance subject to the comments of the
2
~
appropriate agencies. Matters to be considered in reviewing an application to reduce the setback
include:
. thehature of the soils;
. the nature of the vegetation and cover;
. the slope of the land;
. the nature of existing and proposed drainage patterns;
. the nature of the fish and wildlife that may be present; and,
· the scale of the proposed development.
Based on a site inspection of the subject property, it was difficult to determine some of the criteria
noted above. Given these factors, it cannot be determined if the proposal conforms with the general
intent of the Zoning By-law.
Are the variances appropriate for the desirable development of the lot?
The nature of development proposed. appears modest and will not lead to over development of the lot.
The proposed variance should provide for a form of development that is suitable and consistent with
the surrounding area. On this basis the proposed' variance should provide for the appropriate
development of the lot.
Are the variances minor?
On the basis that the variance will permit the construction of the dwelling within the setback limits of
the Environmental Protection zone, the requested relief is deemed to be minor as the structure will be
at least 50 metres (165 feet) from the watercourse. However, it will be recommended that the
applicant prepare a grading plan to ensure stormwater is controlled on the property. On this basis, the
proposed variance is deemed to be minor.
CONCLUSIONS
While the requested variances do not adequately address the 4 tests of a minor variance, it is the
Planning Departments opinion that the Environmental Protection boundary line does riot reflect up to
date wetland mapping in the areas affected. Therefore. the EP Zone Boundary should be more
properly located during the Townships' Housekeeping Review. Given the proposed location of the
dwelling on the lot, the variances should provide for the appropriate development ofthe lot.
RECOMMENDATIONS
If Committee is satisfied that the application is appropriate, it is recommended that Committee
approve application 2004-A-04, subject to the following conditions:
1. That prior to issuance of a building permit, an Ontario Land Surveyor provide verification to
